The Boston Celtics ( 13 - 9 ) defeated the Chicago Bulls ( 11 - 8 ) by a score of 105 - 100 on Wednesday night in Boston . Chicago has now lost three in a row , while Boston has now won six of their last eight . This win allowed Boston to jump up in the Eastern conference standings , while Chicago slid down to the edge of the play - off cut - off . The East is still so tight that one game is about the difference between third and ninth place . This was a close game the whole way but a troublesome 18 turnovers by Chicago allowed Boston some key momentum plays and the few extra possessions needed to score the win . The Celtics were led by their high - octane point guard , Isaiah Thomas , who finished with 20 points , five assists and five rebounds in 31 minutes . Thomas shot only 5 - 15 from the field but went 8 - 8 from the free throw line to make up for it . Jared Sullinger scored a solid double - double with 10 points and 16 rebounds , including five offensive , along with three blocked shots . Evan Turner contributed 13 points and seven assists in 28 minutes off the bench . The Celtics shot only 41 percent from the field as a team but made 24 - 28 free throws and forced 18 turnovers by Chicago . The Bulls shot a better percentage , grabbed more rebounds and committed less fouls than Boston , but could not manage the timely buckets to come out on top in this close game . Jimmy Butler led Chicago in scoring with 36 points on 12 - 24 shooting , along with seven rebounds , in 38 minutes . Pau Gasol put together a solid double - double with 16 points and 15 rebounds , along with four assists and two blocks , in 33 minutes . Derrick Rose chipped in 12 points , six assists and two rebounds , in 36 minutes . Next up for the Bulls is the second night of a back - to - back , in which they will be hosting the L.A. Clippers . Boston will stay home and wait until Friday to see if their hot streak and fast pace can topple the unstoppable Golden State Warriors .
