Boston, now boasting a six-game road winning streak, showcased their depth and adaptability throughout the game.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Chicago narrowing the gap to six points, 113-107, with 4:35 remaining, Boston swiftly extended their lead to double digits, sealing the victory with a timely basket from Tatum at the 3:04 mark.<\/p>\n<p>DeMar DeRozan led the Bulls&#8217; effort with 28 points, nine assists, and six rebounds, while Alex Caruso, Ayo Dosunmu, and Nikola Vucevic contributed 14 points each for Chicago (34-37).
