After Action Report

The Cavaliers held off the Bulls 131-124 in double overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Bulls' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
