The Chicago Bulls Lead Man Tom Thibodeau is up for the "Fight for Red" Trophy named after the late great Celts Coaching Wizard Red Auerbach. The Bulls are miraculously 10-2 after the Deng Trade and went into C-Town with seeing Luol on their minds but also trying to take care of Logo Biz in the "Q".
The Bulls down 44-43 at the break go on a 28-18 binge in the 3rd frame to take full control of a game that had the Bulls Offense taking the lead. Bulls PG D.J. Augustin once again leads the way with 27 points and handing out seven helpers. The TAJ-manian Devil added 26 points and Bloodline Dunleavy Jr. mixed it up from the Arc with 22 points including four Money Balls. The Bulls shot nearly 53% from the field and nearly 50% from the Arc. Jo Noah who loves Cleveland had 18 boards to go with nine points and six helpers.
The Cavs had their chances early as PG "Kyrie for Mayor" led with 26 points including a huge first half that saw him hit five Money Balls. The Cavs had no offensive distribution as Kyrie was the only real threat as Luol Deng only had 11 points after coming off a hot stretch and that probably had a lot to do with emotions and deservedly so. Dion Waiters had 15 and Anderson Varejao chipped in with 10 points and eleven boards.
Bulls over the .500 mark at 21-20 and that is good for 5th in the Eastern Conference as we go to press. The Cavs fall to 15-27 and 10th in the East as they may hit the Lottery again.
