Chicago only scored 99 points, 99-92, but its shooters hit half of their 80 attempts. The Bulls were nearly as good from 3-point range (10-for-18, 55.6 percent) as they were from the foul line (9-for-16, 56.3). They hit a combined 57.1 percent of their attempts in the first and third quarters, hung 32 points on the Cavaliers in those first 12 minutes after halftime and responded to Cleveland runs not by digging deeper (or whatever defensive-minded cliché works for you) but by stepping on the gas at the other end.
