After Action Report
The Celtics outlasted the Bulls 100-93. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
