After Action Report
The Bulls blew the doors off the Celtics 129-109. Bulls' offense had its way with the Celtics. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bulls pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
