After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Bulls 126-104. The Bulls had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Celtics' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
