After Action Report
The Bulls squeaked past the Cavaliers 100-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Cavaliers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
