Chicago Bulls defeated LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers on October 10, 2017, according to NBA.com. The Bulls had a very solid game with them shooting 43.3 percent from the field, 36.6 percent from beyond the arc, and 88.2 percent from the charity stripe. The Cavaliers played their first preseason game with LeBron James, but yet it was not enough to overcome Justin Holiday's 28 points, the other night. Despite the loss, Cleveland fans are still happy with LeBron recovering from his sprained ankle injury.
LeBron James scores 17 points
LeBron James finally played a preseason game this year.
He contributed 17 points, five rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block. He shot 8-13 from the field,1-3 from beyond the arc, and 0-1 from the charity stripe. LeBron played a solid game despite him turning the ball over eight-times against the Chicago Bulls. The Cleveland Cavaliers are entering this upcoming season without Kyrie Irving. But they do have some great additions with Derrick Rose, Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Jeff Green, Ante Zizic, and Dwyane Wade. The Cleveland Cavaliers are still heavily favored in the eastern conference. It seems very likely that the Cavaliers will go back to the finals for the fourth straight year.
Derrick Rose does a little bit of everything
Derrick Rose had another solid all-around game for the Cleveland Cavaliers the other night.
He contributed 13 points, five rebounds, five assists, and one steal. He went 5-9 from the field, 1-2 from the three-point line, and 2-3 from the free throw line. Rose is not the player he used to be when he won the Most Valuable Player award, but he is showing how good and explosive he still is. With Isaiah Thomas still recovering, Rose will be the starting point guard for the Cleveland Cavaliers this upcoming season.
Holiday puts up incredible numbers
Justin Holiday had a very good game the other night for the Chicago Bulls. He led the Bulls in points, steals and in rebounds. He contributed 28 points, 11 rebounds, one assist, and three steals. He shot 50 percent from the field, 57.1 percent from beyond the arc, and 100 percent from the Charity stripe.
The Bulls are entering rebuild mode this upcoming NBA season; this will give Holiday huge playing time for next season. Luis Markkanen also played a great game the other night, he made four three-pointers, acquired one steal and grabbed five rebounds for the Bulls.
