After Action Report

The Bulls rolled past the Celtics 111-84. Bulls' offense had its way with the Celtics. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Bulls. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bulls · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • 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.
