After Action Report
The Bulls took care of the Cavaliers 108-90. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Bulls carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bulls · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
