After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Bulls 107-106. The Bulls couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
