After Action Report
The Celtics rolled past the Bulls 118-98. Every possession went the Celtics way. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
