Al Horford led the Celtics with 15 points while Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart contributed 13 apiece. Boston's star point guard Kyrie Irving sat out the game with a quad contusion.
Nikola Mirotic sizzled with 24 points to lead the Bulls past the Celtics, 108-85, on Monday night at the United Center.
