The eight-seed Chicago Bulls shocked the basketball world, going into hostile enemy territory and leaving with a 2-0 series lead over the one-seed Boston Celtics. The Bulls now have a commanding lead in the best-of-seven series, and Boston is going to have one helluva time digging themselves out of such a massive hole.
Celtics are 24th team to lose Games 1 and 2 at home in best-of-7 series

In Game 2, the Bulls got major contributions from a wide variety of players in their 111-97 victory. Jimmy Butler and Dwyane Wade lead the team in scoring with 22 points each, while Rajon Rondo filled the stat sheet with 11 points, nine rebounds, 14 assists, and five steals. Even Paul Zipser got into the action, scoring 16 points off of the bench.

For the Celtics, Isaiah Thomas lead the team in scoring for the second straight game. Thomas didn’t dominate in his usual fashion, though, as his 20 points came on a very inefficient shooting night. He hit just 6-of-15 from the floor, 1-of-5 from three-point range, and 7-of-13 from the free throw line.
Now that the stage has been set for Game 3, let’s breakdown all of the different ways you can watch the Celtics take on the Bulls in Chicago.
