After Action Report
In Boston, the Bulls pulled away from the Celtics 94-78. The Bulls won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Shots just aren't falling for the Celtics lately; the Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. The Bulls rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
