You read that right.

The Bulls made the defending champion Celtics—OK, without Kevin Garnett—play their game, running and spreading the court and accelerating the pace, and the Celtics could not keep up.

You figured this "small ball" thing had to catch up to the Bulls at times, and it will continue to do so as it did here Friday with the Memphis Grizzlies jumping all over the Bulls, figuratively and literally, in a 103-96 victory.
