After Action Report
In Chicago, the Cavaliers stunned the Bulls 115-113. Cavaliers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers; the Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss. Early returns: the Cavaliers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
