Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
