After Action Report
The Bulls blew the doors off the Cavaliers 141-117. The Bulls got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Bulls. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
