The Bulls “Jumbo Lineup” of Nikola Vucevic and Andre Drummond gave Cleveland’s frontline fits all night long, as the home team outrebounded the Cavs 74-39 in the win.

The Bulls remain an enigma.

Lose to lowly Detroit on Tuesday, only to come back in double overtime and beat the second-best team in the Eastern Conference in the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Embarrassment to downright heroic in 24 hours.

Thanks to 11 points by DeMar DeRozan in that second overtime, as well as a ridiculous rebounding night from Andre Drummond in which the big man grabbed 26 rebounds, the Bulls (28-31) outlasted their division rivals 132-123.
