After Action Report
The Bulls squeaked past the Celtics 105-101. Ugly basketball, but the Bulls did just enough. The Bulls answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Bulls' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
