Celtics Bury Bulls Again, DarkHorse Cashes Easy at -770

NBA

The Celtics did exactly what they were supposed to do, dismantling the Bulls 125-111 in a game that was never remotely competitive. Boston led wire-to-wire and cruised to their second beatdown of Chicago in less than a week, validating every word of DarkHorse's pre-game analysis. The published pick of Celtics -770 was a textbook HIT—sometimes the math is just that simple.

Chicago's defensive collapse continued in spectacular fashion. After surrendering 134 points in the first meeting and averaging 130.2 PPG allowed over their losing streak, the Bulls had no answers for Boston's offensive machine. The Celtics' 114.9 offensive rating advantage wasn't just a number on paper—it was a blueprint for destruction. Boston moved the ball with surgical precision, exploited mismatches relentlessly, and never let Chicago sniff a comeback.

The Bulls' short rest and roster questions proved fatal. Without the depth or defensive structure to hang with an elite team, they folded predictably. The 14-point margin actually flattered Chicago compared to the 35-point shellacking four days earlier.

DarkHorse called this one cold: massive efficiency gap, recent head-to-head dominance, and a Bulls team in freefall. When the favorite is this superior and the market somehow underrates them, you hammer it. Celtics backers collected with zero drama.
