The Boston Celtics opened their NBA Cup campaign with a 125-111 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night. The win marks Boston's first game in the league's new in-season tournament format.

Boston's offense proved too much for Chicago to contain, with the Celtics reaching 125 points while holding the Bulls to 111. The game served as the NBA Cup opener for both Eastern Conference rivals.

The Celtics will look to build on this early tournament success as group play continues, while the Bulls will aim to bounce back in their next NBA Cup matchup.
