After Action Report

The Celtics ran roughshod over the Bulls 131-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Bulls' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
