After Action Report
The Celtics squeaked past the Bulls 110-107. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Shots just aren't falling for the Celtics lately; the Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bulls · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
