After Action Report
The Bulls rolled past the Cavaliers 140-83. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bulls cashed in. The Bulls came in with something to prove after a loss; Cavaliers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
