After Action Report
In Chicago, the Cavaliers rolled past the Bulls 129-95. Cavaliers' scorers couldn't be contained. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
