Don’t call the Bulls a .500 team. That’s because with their fourth straight victory, and third this season over Cleveland, the Bulls Saturday defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 117-99.
The Bulls pulled away with a dynamic third quarter, outscoring the Cavs 32-20, and then held off Cleveland throughout the fourth quarter. The Bulls moved to 30-29 on the season as the Cavs fell to 40-17. They are 0-4 this season without LeBron James, who didn’t play, and 4-19 without James overall.
The Bulls were again led by Dwyane Wade, this time with 20 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds.
