After Action Report
The Cavaliers outlasted the Bulls 106-91. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Cavaliers' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Cavaliers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
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 · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
