After Action Report
The Bulls blew the doors off the Cavaliers 118-87. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bulls cashed in. The Bulls carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Bulls' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. The Bulls rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
