After Action Report
In Boston, the Bulls upended the Celtics 117-112. The Bulls got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Bulls' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
