After Action Report
In Chicago, the Celtics blew the doors off the Bulls 118-90. Celtics torched the Bulls on the offensive end. The Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss; the Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
