A huge win for second-year head coach Billy Donovan and the Chicago Bulls came over the struggling Boston Celtics on the road at the TD Garden on the night of Nov. 1. To start out the month of November, the Bulls won their second straight game in big-time comeback fashion over new head coach Ime Udoka and the Celtics.

At one point, the Bulls were down by nearly 20 points heading into the fourth quarter. But Donovan got this Bulls team going heading into the fourth quarter thanks to a nice spark from the play of the bench. That energy helped to get the Bulls going down the stretch to see some of their bigger players really come to life.

DeMar DeRozan’s hot streak continues as the Chicago Bulls have a massive fourth-quarter comeback against the Celtics

This was one of the most dominant fourth quarters we’ve seen by any team around the NBA landscape so far this season for the Bulls against the Celtics on this night. The Bulls beat the Celtics by a margin of 39-11 in the fourth quarter of this game. That came after the Celtics had established some real momentum by the efforts of star forwards Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.

The Bulls had not won a single quarter in this game until the fourth, and that’s when they really took over.

This now makes it two straight impressive wins for the Bulls following the first and only loss of the season to date. A tough start for the Bulls in the rebounding and turnover departments turned around in a hurry in the fourth quarter. This should give this team a ton of momentum as they keep trekking through a difficult portion of the stretch.

Here’s a look into two studs, and one dud, from the Bulls’ 128-114 win over Celtics on Nov. 1.
