After Action Report
The Cavaliers fended off the Bulls 104-96. The Bulls couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Cavaliers. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bulls are in a full-on tailspin. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
