After Action Report

The Celtics survived the Bulls 118-113. The tempo dragged the Bulls into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Celtics steamroller is in full effect right now; Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).

  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
