After Action Report
The Bulls buried the Celtics 109-80. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Bulls' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Celtics are in a full-on tailspin. The Celtics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
