After Action Report
The Bulls outlasted the Celtics 133-125 in overtime. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Bulls; the Bulls pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
