After Action Report

The Celtics took care of the Bulls 114-97. Celtics' offense had its way with the Bulls. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Celtics' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Bulls · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
