The Chicago Bulls took care of business in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with a 99-92 win at Quicken Loans Arena over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Cavs are short-handed right now due to losing Kevin Love to a shoulder injury that will keep him out for the remainder of the playoffs, and J.R. Smith’s two game suspension that kept him out of Game by 1 for the Cavs and will also keep him out of Game 2.
Iman Shumpert has been the beneficiary of the minutes available due to Smith’s suspension and he has taken full advantage of it.
