After Action Report
In Boston, the Bulls snuck past the Celtics 120-115 in overtime. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Bulls' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
