After Action Report
The Bulls snuck past the Celtics 105-101. Bulls torched the Celtics on the offensive end. The Bulls carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
