The Bulls dropped to 1-4 with a 117-111 loss to the Cavaliers in Cleveland Wednesday night. Here are four observations:
Defense and rebounding continue to be huge issues
The Cavaliers made their first nine shots in the final period, outscoring the Bulls 37-29. They shot 64.9% in the second half.
They also outrebounded the Bulls 47-32. This is after the Knicks posted a plus-25 in the rebounding department Monday night.
Perhaps the most ignominious moment came when Kevin Porter Jr. blocked Kris Dunn’s attempt and dribbled to the other end for a dunk and six-point lead.
