After Action Report
The Celtics pulled away from the Bulls 122-112. The tempo dragged the Bulls into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Celtics played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping.
