After Action Report
The Celtics buried the Bulls 131-89. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; shots just aren't falling for the Bulls lately. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- 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.
