After Action Report
The Celtics demolished the Bulls 122-87. Celtics' offense had its way with the Bulls. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
