CLEVELAND- The Chicago Bulls came into Cleveland looking to steal one from the Cavaliers after getting off to a 2-2 start, as the Cavaliers where looking to keep the sense of urgency play going. Through out the whole game it was back and forth between the two. You had to know it was going to come down to the last play. And with just a few seconds left LeBron James tried to drive to the basket and was hit hard and lost the ball out of bounds with no foul. At that point the game was over as The Bulls won 86-85 and improved to 3-2 as the Cavaliers fall to 3-3 in their second loss at home this season.

Despite the loss, all starters for the Cavaliers scored in double digits. Leading the way was LeBron James scoring 25 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assist, Shaquille O’Neal had 14 points, 10 rebounds and 5 block shots, Anderson Varejao had 12 points and 13 rebounds, Mo Williams had 11 points, 6 assist and 2 rebounds and Anthony Parker had 11 points 4 rebounds and 3 assist.

Even though these losses can be frustrating, it is a part of the growing pains that the Cavaliers must go through in order to get to where they need to be. I am surprised that Jamario Moon has not had much playing time lately, but Im sure coach Mike Brown has a plan and is trying to find the best lineup rotation.  Cavaliers next game will be Friday in New York as they take on the Knicks. Tip off is at 8:00 pm
