After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Bulls 122-79. The Bulls had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Bulls' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Bulls' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- 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.
