After Action Report
The Celtics edged the Bulls 99-92. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bulls pushed the pace until the other side broke. 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.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
