In his Bulls debut Thursday , Dwyane Wade showed the NBA that an old dog can learn new tricks as he led Chicago to a win over the Celtics . After making just seven three - pointers last season , Wade hit four shots from beyond the arc in his Chicago homecoming . Wade 's mark was the highest of any Bull , as the team hit 11 shots from three - point range in total . One of those shots came from another new face , point guard Rajon Rondo . Rondo is another player who many speculated would cause trouble for Chicago 's floor spacing , but he got the job done along with his new backcourt partner . It was a good night for All-Star players , as Wade was n't the only star to score over 20 . Jimmy Butler led the Bulls with 24 , while Boston point guard Isaiah Thomas scored 25 . The Chicago Bulls opened their season Thursday with a 105 - 99 victory against the visiting Boston Celtics . Chicago ( 10 ) jumped out to an early lead , finishing the first quarter with a 30 - 20 lead . The Bulls new - look backcourt of Dwyane Wade and Rajon Rondo quickly made contributions , with Wade scoring 14 points in the first half . The group managed to combat concerns about poor floor - spacing , with Wade and Rondo contributing five combined three - point makes . Chicago was able to keep the Celtics off the glass extremely effectively , winning the rebounding battle 55 - 36 . The Bulls ' edge was particularly pronounced on the offensive end , as they earned 18 offensive rebounds compared to Boston 's three . Boston ( 1 - 1 ) , meanwhile , managed to keep the game close throughout . All-Star point guard Isaiah Thomas led the charge for the Celtics ' offense , scoring 25 points . With bench guard Marcus Smart sidelined by injury , sophomore Terry Rozier saw 22 minutes coming off the bench . He made the most of his time on the floor , scoring eight points and recording four rebounds and four assists while recording no turnovers . Boston had a solid shooting night , converting on half of their shots from the floor overall . However , struggles on the glass ended up weighing the Celtics down despite keeping Chicago to just 40 percent shooting . The Bulls will face the Pacers on Saturday , while the Celtics will take on the Hornets .
