After Action Report
The Celtics handled the Bulls 114-101. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Celtics. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. 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 · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Celtics · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
