After Action Report
The Bulls handled the Celtics 101-90. The Bulls won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Bulls came in with something to prove after a loss; the Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Celtics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
