After Action Report
The Bulls snuck past the Celtics 110-109. The better team simply showed up tonight. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Bulls' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Tonight's Celtics utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
