After Action Report
In a track meet, the Bulls pulled away from the Celtics 113-95. Ugly basketball, but the Bulls did just enough. The Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Bulls' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Bulls · 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.
