The Boston Celtics absolutely decimated the Chicago Bulls in their final group play game of the NBA’s new in-season tournament (IST) at TD Garden on Tuesday night, and along with a little help from their pals the Brooklyn Nets and Boston’s IST point differential, have advanced to the NBA quarterfinals of the very first IST in league history.

The hosts of the CLNS Media “First to the Floor” podcast recently took a deep dive into all of the above on their latest streamed episode.
