Big Cavs Lineup Falls Just Short
Despite being without their starting backcourt on Sunday night, the Cavaliers looked much more ready to rumble with Chicago than they did just days earlier in the preseason opener.
The Wine & Gold still couldn’t pull off the win – falling, 102-101, to the undefeated Bulls – but they still got some very strong performances with their big lineup, especially prized rookie Evan Mobley.
After being blasted in the Windy City on Tuesday night, the Cavaliers went toe-to-toe with their Central Division rivals on Sunday in a game that featured 25 lead-changes, including nine in the fourth quarter.
