After Action Report
The Bulls stunned the Celtics 126-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bulls cashed in. The Bulls played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Bulls' outside barrage was a constant threat. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
