After Action Report
The Bulls buried the Cavaliers 100-80. The Cavaliers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bulls. The Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions; shots just aren't falling for the Bulls lately. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
