After Action Report
The Celtics fended off the Bulls 112-106. The tempo dragged the Bulls into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Bulls' stars took over and bent the game to their will. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Celtics · 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.
- Bulls · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
