After Action Report

The Bulls buried the Cavaliers 118-95. The Bulls got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Bulls; the Bulls answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
