After Action Report
In Chicago, the Bulls ran roughshod over the Celtics 115-94. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Shots just aren't falling for the Bulls lately; Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
