After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics buried the Bulls 104-78. The Bulls couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. Bulls' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Bulls' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
