After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Bulls 106-102. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
