After Action Report
The Bulls knocked off the Celtics 108-101. Every possession went the Bulls way. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. The Bulls rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
