After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers survived the Bulls 112-111. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Cavaliers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
