After Action Report
In Chicago, the Bulls survived the Cavaliers 101-97. The Bulls won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Bulls' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Cavaliers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
