The Boston Celtics’ winning streak in the NBA has ended. After the last nine successes in a row, the record champions conceded a 107:121 against the Chicago Bulls.
It was only the fourth loss of the season for the Celtics, in which Jayson Tatum had 28 points, as did DeMar DeRozan for the Bulls. The Celtics remain leaders in the Eastern Conference, but are now just one win clear of the Milwaukee Bucks, who beat the Portland Trail Blazers 119-111. Giannis Antetokounmpo was the top scorer on the field with 37 points.
Franz Wagner also earned that title with his 20 points for the Orlando Magic, but still suffered his 13th loss of the season against the Indiana Pacers. After a better phase in the first half, the 102:123 was a clear affair for the guests, who drew up to 25 points in the final quarter.
Isaiah Hartenstein, meanwhile, recorded a 129-119 with the New York Knicks against the Oklahome City Thunder, but lost his place on the starting lineup to Mitchell Robinson and picked up two points and eight rebounds off the bench.
The Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Utah Jazz 121-14. Norman Powell was the best Clippers pitcher with 30 points.
