After Action Report
The Cavaliers ran roughshod over the Bulls 108-68. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Cavaliers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- 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.
