After Action Report
The Celtics handled the Bulls 97-85. The Bulls couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
