After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Bulls 106-102. The Bulls had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Celtics' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
