After Action Report
The Celtics snuck past the Bulls 96-93. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; the Celtics couldn't shake the cold spell. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
