After Action Report
The Cavaliers buried the Bulls 123-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Shots just aren't falling for the Bulls lately. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
