After Action Report
The Bulls pulled away from the Celtics 97-86. The Celtics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bulls. Bulls' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. The Bulls rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
