After Action Report
In a track meet, the Bulls buried the Cavaliers 128-79. Bulls controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Bulls; Bulls' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
