After Action Report
The Celtics held off the Bulls 107-100. Every possession went the Celtics way. Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Bulls bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
