After Action Report

In a track meet, the Celtics handled the Bulls 132-117. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
