After Action Report

The Celtics fended off the Bulls 122-114. Celtics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
