After Action Report
In Chicago, the Celtics outlasted the Bulls 108-92. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
