After Action Report
The Cavaliers handled the Bulls 116-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. The Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Cavaliers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
