After Action Report
The Bulls outlasted the Celtics 126-107. Bulls' scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Bulls; Bulls' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
