Dropping a deuce on Chicago
The Cavs took the Bulls best shot in Game 2 Monday night and, for the Bulls, it wasn’t good enough, which means the series is effectively over.
The Bulls scored 21 second-chance points, scored 56 points in the paint – the third-highest total against the Cavs this year – committed just four turnovers and took 22 more shots than the Cavs. Shaq only played 15 minutes because of foul trouble, Z was mostly non-existent and Anderson Varejao struggled.
And the Cavs still beat them by 10.
Then there was the brilliant idea by some of the Bulls to dare LeBron James to shoot from the outside.
“They were telling me I can’t make jump shots,” James said. “They asked me to shoot a jumper so I did that. Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.”
James finished with 40 points on 16-of-23 shooting, so that may not have been the best strategy on the Bulls part.
Game 3 is Thursday night in Chicago.
14 more wins to go.
