CAVALIERS 114 BULLS 108 F/OT...the "WEST SIDE Story Report" gets hit with Michael Myers, Freddie Krueger, the Candyman, and KING JAMES as the CAVS strike out of the MOTEL with their 1st win of 2014-15!...#CLEvsCHI #CAVSnation #BULLSnation #SeeRed

The game was won on the sheer determination on the glass. The Cleveland Cavaliers will not get out rebounded on most nights in 2014-15and tonight was no different. Behind 20 offensive boards and a 52-42 rebounding advantage the Cavs go into the Madhouse on Madison and gets a 114-108 victory.

Yes King James was going to come out aggressive after a flat performance laced with eight turnovers in the "Q" last night. LeBron goes for a game-high 36 points including 17 of those before the break. Cavs PG Kyrie Irving added a quiet 23 points but that wasn't all the headlines on this night for the Boys from the "Q"!

The "Lake Oswego Monster" Kevin Love and Tristan Thompson controlled the glass from start to finish. Both had double-doubles with Love 16 points and sixteen boards  with Tristan adding 16 points and thirteen boards. They just simply wanted it more than the Bulls on the glass.

Both Kirk Hinrich and Derrick Rose led the Bulls with 20 points as D-Rose turned an ankle in the 2nd frame and in the early 3rd frame went out the game never to return. Captain Kirk almost had the Bulls in the winner's circle late with some money balls as the Cavs tied it on a Kyrie Irving and one with a ghost foul from Taj Gibson.

Pau Gasol added 15 points and nine boards as he blocked a game-high six shots. Bloodline Mike Dunleavy Jr. chipped in with 14 points including 4 for 7 from the arc. Bulls shot themselves in the foot getting bounded on the glass.

Both teams move to 1-1 while the See red will get the T'Wolves on Saturday November 1st in Minnesota for game #3 on the season.
