After Action Report
The Celtics downed the Bulls 134-115. The tempo dragged the Bulls into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
