After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Bulls 102-78. The Bulls couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. Fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in; shots just aren't falling for the Bulls lately. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
