After Action Report
The Cavaliers fended off the Bulls 99-91. The Cavaliers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Bulls' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Cavaliers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
