After Action Report

The Cavaliers squeaked past the Bulls 113-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Bulls.

What tipped it

  • Cavaliers · 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 · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
