After Action Report
In Chicago, the Cavaliers handled the Bulls 104-87. Cavaliers' offense had its way with the Bulls. The Bulls played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Bulls' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. The Cavaliers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
