After Action Report

In Chicago, the Bulls fended off the Celtics 138-132 in overtime. The Bulls got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Bulls.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
  • Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Celtics · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
