The Bulls buried the Cavaliers 131-97. Bulls' offense had its way with the Cavaliers. The Bulls came in with something to prove after a loss; the Bulls pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
