After Action Report
The Bulls took care of the Celtics 100-89. Bulls torched the Celtics on the offensive end. The Bulls ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Bulls' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
