After Action Report
In Boston, the Bulls edged the Celtics 94-88. Ugly basketball, but the Bulls did just enough. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bulls answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
