After Action Report
The Celtics stunned the Bulls 99-97. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. An upset for the books.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
