All is not lost! Despite letting the bulls shoot 50% from the field and 56% from 3 the Cavs managed to claw back in to the game and made a good run of it down the stretch. Rose continued his strong play off rest (which will not be case again this series) Dunleavy started out hot, Gasol was money from midrange. It was basically a perfect storm and they still couldn't get above 100.
Keys for the win:
Pick and roll defense: Cavs switched a lot of pick and rolls in the second half and TT did a great job picking up the ball handler. Will the bulls try to post Gasol? cant post Noah he craps himself for some reason when he catches the ball there.
Early offense: Cavs got easy looks when they rebounded and got into their offense early. Need to rebound better so they can get those easy threes and layups.
Lebron: Needs to post up more when guarded by butler and get to the line. When defense helps baseline duck ins and corner threes open up.
Baseline: Bulls love to get along the baseline and under the backboard. Cavs got caught ball watching a number of times early on. Got better at zoning up as the game went on
Blatt: How will he adjust? He lent on TT a huge amount in the second half. Thibs will surely try to exploit that and Blatt needs to show what hes capable of in what is the most important game of the season
