After Action Report
The Cavaliers demolished the Bulls 116-82. Cavaliers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss; Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
