After Action Report
The Bulls held off the Celtics 90-83. Bulls' scorers couldn't be contained. The Bulls sent shots into the fifth row all night; the Celtics couldn't shake the cold spell. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- 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.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
