After Action Report
In Chicago, the Bulls squeaked past the Celtics 104-102. The Bulls won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Celtics' outside barrage was a constant threat. Tonight's Celtics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
