After Action Report

In a track meet, the Bulls ran roughshod over the Celtics 121-95. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Bulls looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; the Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
