The Celtics overcame a scrappy Chicago team 111-104 Saturday night, with the Bulls providing a much sterner test than anticipated due to their defensive intensity. For much of the game, the Celtics were stifled on the offensive end, struggling for answers on how to break down the well organized scheme they were facing.
There was no single player who dominated during this game. Instead, multiple players got hot at different points. This allowed Boston to alter their game-plan as the game wore on, changing the point of emphasis to probe the holes the defense was giving them.
