The Chicago Bulls went into Cleveland on the second night of a back-to-back for Saturday’s Primetime NBA game and beat the Cavaliers by a score of 117-99. Jimmy Butler dropped a 18/10/10 triple-double and Dwyane Wade himself had a statline of 20 points, 10 assists, and nine rebounds in the victory. However, the whole team turned in an excellent performance as the Bulls shot an uncharacterisitcally scorching 15-30 from beyond the arc, giving a LeBron-less Cavs team a taste of their own medicine. Cameron Payne and Joffrey Lauvergne both made their Bulls debuts as well.
