After Action Report
In Boston, the Bulls pulled away from the Celtics 122-107. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bulls cashed in. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Celtics utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
