After Action Report
The Celtics rolled past the Bulls 119-96. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
