After Action Report
The Bulls upended the Celtics 101-97. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; shots just aren't falling for the Bulls lately. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.

- Celtics · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.

- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
