After Action Report

The Bulls demolished the Cavaliers 136-102. The Bulls got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Bulls' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
