After Action Report
The Bulls demolished the Celtics 144-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bulls cashed in. The Bulls answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Bulls' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.

- Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
