Bulls tipoff

Bulls vs. Boston Celtics at the TD Garden, 2:30 p.m.

TV: ABC

Radio: WMVP 1000-AM

Update: Derrick Rose figures to be a game-time decision with a sore back as the Bulls’ nine-game road trip finally comes to an end. The Celtics (14-12) made up for a slow start by winning 10 of 12 games, but have since lost their last two against the Lakers and Toronto. SF Paul Pierce (18.1 ppg) is playing at an all-star level again, while Ray Allen is shooting 51 percent from 3-point range and PG Rajon Rondo averages 9.5 assists. The Bulls won in Boston 88-79 on Jan. 13.

Next: Sacramento Kings at the United Center, 7 p.m. Tuesday
