After Action Report

The Bulls snuck past the Cavaliers 96-95. Ugly basketball, but the Bulls did just enough. Shots just aren't falling for the Bulls lately; the Cavaliers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. The Bulls rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.

  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Cavaliers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
