After Action Report

In Cleveland, the Cavaliers took care of the Bulls 127-112. The Bulls had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Cavaliers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Bulls are in a full-on tailspin. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Cavaliers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
