After Action Report
The Bulls squeaked past the Celtics 90-87. Ugly basketball, but the Bulls did just enough. The Bulls sent shots into the fifth row all night; Bulls' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Celtics · Balanced Five A starting five that covers every position with even talent finds a synergy edge.
