After Action Report
In Chicago, the Celtics fended off the Bulls 98-92. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in; Celtics' outside barrage was a constant threat. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
