The Celtics beat the Chicago Bulls 118-115 on Monday night to even their best-of-7 first-round series at one game apiece. Powe hurt himself on a spin move but stayed on the court three more minutes trying to play.

Boston point guard Rajon Rondo is sitting out practice Tuesday and Wednesday with a sprained ankle. Coach Doc Rivers says Rondo will be able to play in Game 3 on Thursday night.
