After Action Report
The Celtics took care of the Bulls 95-80. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Celtics ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
