After Action Report

The Bulls buried the Celtics 115-87. Bulls torched the Celtics on the offensive end. The Bulls sent shots into the fifth row all night; the Bulls came in with something to prove after a loss. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.

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.
  • Bulls · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
  • Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
