After Action Report
In Chicago, the Celtics held off the Bulls 107-101. Celtics' positional fit overwhelmed the Bulls rotation. The Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
