After Action Report
The Bulls ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 137-102. Bulls torched the Cavaliers on the offensive end. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Bulls' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
