After Action Report
The Cavaliers rolled past the Bulls 129-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- 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.
