After Action Report
The Bulls ran roughshod over the Celtics 130-110. The breakneck pace played right into Bulls' hands. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bulls pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Celtics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 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.
