After Action Report
The Bulls blew the doors off the Celtics 120-80. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bulls cashed in. Bulls' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Celtics couldn't shake the cold spell. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
