After Action Report
The Bulls blew the doors off the Cavaliers 144-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bulls cashed in. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
