The Celtics stunned the Bulls 108-105. The better team simply showed up tonight. Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. An upset for the books.
