In perhaps their most important game of the season to date, the Bulls notched a grind-it-out 98-94 victory over the Cavaliers.
Certainly, the Cavaliers applied some self-inflicted wounds as well, particularly shooting the ball. Their 1-for-18 first-half line from 3-point range, for example, featured some open looks that didn’t fall.
Although Vučević’s shooting cooled in the second half — he finished with 16 points and a 6-for-14 shooting line — his night culminated in a solid two-way performance because of his defensive activity level. Beyond the raw steals and blocks , Vučević’s hands generated deflections all over the court throughout, he bothered Evan Mobley to the tune of a 4-for-13 shooting line, and he played a part in the Cavaliers shooting just 22-for-44 shooting in the paint by staying vertical with contests.
But the Bulls’ starting backcourt also did their job as wheel-greasers of crisp offense. Caruso slung seven assists and tallied 10 points on a pair of corner 3s, a putback lay-in and free throws generated by a strong drive attacking a closeout, finishing with a game-high +18 plus-minus.
“Alex is another really good, smart, intelligent guard who’s got a good feel of how to play. And I think sometimes when you’re putting him on the defensive assignments that we are, and then you’re asking him to run the team and keep the ball in his hands and get us in and out of actions, it’s a lot.”This win, though, was far from perfect. As mentioned, Cleveland surged in the second half.
