After Action Report
In Chicago, the Cavaliers demolished the Bulls 113-92. The better team simply showed up tonight. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
