The Chicago Bulls, led by 28 points from DeMar DeRozan, ended the Boston Celtics' nine-game NBA winning streak with a 121-107 victory on Monday.

Zach LaVine, who was frustrated to be pulled from the waning minutes of the Bulls' loss to Orlando on Friday, scored 22 points.

Nikola Vucevic added 12 points and 13 rebounds for Chicago — who had also beaten the Celtics at home in October but fell to them in Boston on November 4 in the game that launched the Celtics' streak.

At 13-4, the Celtics still own the best record in NBA basketball. Down by as many as 21 in the third quarter, Boston sliced the deficit to 10 with 4:49 to play, but couldn't get over the hump.

LaVine drained a three-pointer and DeRozan passed to Alex Caruso for a reverse layup that pushed the Bulls' lead to 116-101 with less than three minutes to go.

Jayson Tatum, scored 28 points, pulled down 11 rebounds and handed out seven assists in the defeat. Jaylen Brown added 25 points and seven rebounds for Boston.

It was a humbling night in New Orleans for the reigning NBA champion Golden State Warriors.

One day after grabbing their first road win of the season at Houston, the Warriors — with their top stars sitting out — crashed to a 128-83 defeat.

Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins all sat out.

Thompson was coming off a 41-point performance in Houston and was expected to miss the second night of the back-to-back. He hasn't played both games in a back-to-back since returning in January from Achilles and knee ligament surgeries.
