After Action Report
The Bulls buried the Celtics 118-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bulls cashed in. Bulls' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Celtics couldn't shake the cold spell. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
