After Action Report

The Celtics handled the Bulls 102-88. Every possession went the Celtics way. Fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in; Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
