After a surprising power outage earlier this evening, the NBA has announced that the Chicago Bulls’ game against the Boston Celtics will resume tonight at 10:45 PM CST. The game was suspended in the third quarter due to a major power failure at the United Center.
The outage, which left the arena in darkness and halted the game with the Bulls trailing 85-81, was caused by a significant failure in the arena’s power grid. Engineers have since resolved the issue, and the arena has been cleared for the resumption of the game.
Bulls fans who were affected by the interruption have been advised to return to the arena with their original tickets, which will be honored for the continuation of the game. The NBA has assured that all security and safety measures are in place to ensure a smooth restart.
Chicago Bulls head coach Billy Donovan expressed relief at the quick resolution, stating, “We’re glad to be back on the court tonight. Our focus is to finish strong and make the most of this opportunity.”
The Celtics, who were leading before the interruption, will look to maintain their momentum and secure a victory. Fans are expected to fill the United Center once again, eager to see the conclusion of this closely contested matchup.
Further updates on the game will be provided as needed.
