After Action Report

In Cleveland, the Cavaliers outlasted the Bulls 103-96. Cavaliers' offense had its way with the Bulls. Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Bulls' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

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.
