After Action Report

The Bulls downed the Celtics 109-97. The Bulls got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Bulls answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Bulls' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
