LeBron, no LeBron. Big deal. That’s all you’ve got as defending NBA champions?
Yeah, it’s media trash talking now as the Bulls Saturday defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers for the third time this season, this time a 117-99 blowout win without the ill James in which the only real question was whether Dwyane Wade would join Jimmy Butler with a triple double.
Wade didn’t as Cristiano Felicio grabbed a last shot Cavs miss over the head of Wade as time ran out with Wade finishing with 20 points, nine rebounds and 10 assists. Butler had 18 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds as the new look Bulls had seven players score in double figures, recorded a season high 15 made three pointers (in 30 attempts) and counted up 34 assists on 46 baskets after 31 in Friday’s win over Phoenix.
