After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Bulls 133-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
