After Action Report

In Boston, the Celtics buried the Bulls 125-76. The Bulls had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
