After Action Report
In Chicago, the Bulls snuck past the Cavaliers 101-96. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Bulls carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Cavaliers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
