After Action Report
The Celtics took care of the Bulls 116-106. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
