After Action Report
The Cavaliers blew the doors off the Bulls 123-80. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Cavaliers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 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.
