After Action Report
The Cavaliers ran roughshod over the Bulls 124-98. Cavaliers' stops on the defensive end set the tone. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Bulls. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 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.
