The Chicago Bulls have overcome a 5-14 start to the season and are now in contention for a position in the Play-In Tournament. Unless there is a significant shift, they will face the Atlanta Hawks in the first round of the Play-In, but the remainder of the season should be spent to establish a rhythm and keep their position as the ninth seed in the East.
They faced the Boston Celtics on Saturday night, who are in a very different situation than the Bulls. Boston has remained at the top of the Eastern Conference for nearly the entire season, and if the Milwaukee Bucks lose on Sunday night, they will have secured the first seed in March.
Following the Bulls’ loss on Saturday night, Coby White praised the Celtics’ ability to win games regardless of who is available to play in a video shared on Twitter by Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune. (H/t Noa Dalzell of CelticsBlog)
White completed the game with 11 points, five rebounds, and ten assists, shooting 3-for-11 from the field and 1-for-4 from behind the three-point line.

How have the Boston Celtics won nine consecutive games and 13 of their past 15, despite missing at least one of their starting five on a regular basis?
Sam Hauser is undoubtedly relevant.
The 26-year-old sniper started Saturday night in Chicago with Jaylen Brown, Kristaps Porzingis, and Jrue Holiday all out, and he responded by hitting 7 of 8 3-pointers for 23 points in Boston’s 124-113 victory over the Bulls.
