After Action Report

In a track meet, the Celtics snuck past the Bulls 110-105. The tempo dragged the Bulls into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in; Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
