Bulls Steal Game One from Cavs in Cleveland

Derrick Rose led the Chicago Bulls to a 99-92 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Rose scored a team-high 25 points and had 5 assists. Pau Gasol had 21 points, team-high 10 rebounds, game-high 4 blocks and 4 assists for the Bulls. Jimmy Butler had 20 points, team-high 6 assists and 5 rebounds for Bulls.

Kyrie Irving scored a game-high 30 points and had 6 assists for the Cavs. LeBron James posted big numbers for Cleveland with 19 points, game-high 15 rebounds and game-high 9 assists. Iman Shumpert scored 22 points and started for J.R. Smith who is suspended for two games. The Cavs didn’t get much production from anymore players and missed Smith and Kevin Love on offense.

The Bulls took Game one and from the Cavs in Cleveland and can possible go back to Chicago with a 2-0 lead. If Rose can stay healthy the Bulls have a good chance of beating the Cavs. Cleveland will need more production from their role players if they wish to compete in this series against the Bulls.
