After Action Report
In a track meet, the Cavaliers shocked the Bulls 112-98. Cavaliers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Cavaliers pushed the pace until the other side broke. Early returns: the Cavaliers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
