After Action Report
In a track meet, the Bulls blew the doors off the Celtics 142-119. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bulls pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
