After Action Report

The Celtics survived the Bulls 121-117. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
