After Action Report

The Bulls outlasted the Celtics 111-102. Every possession went the Bulls way. The Bulls steamroller is in full effect right now; Bulls' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
