The Cleveland Cavaliers are playing without Kyrie Irving and Anderson Varejao tonight against the Chicago Bulls, so it stands to reason they might struggle versus one of the NBA's best teams. Cleveland hung with the Bulls for a quarter, but Chicago officially pulled away in third and made the game a blowout. The Bulls will take a 94-71 lead into the fourth quarter.
Four of Chicago's starters have reached double-figures already, led by small foward Luol Deng. Deng has 24 points, six rebounds, and four assists on 9-of-14 shooting from the field, including four makes in four tries from three-point range. Derrick Rose has 19 points and nine assists for Chicago and Joakim Noah has 13 points and 11 rebounds.
Antawn Jamison has 22 points for Cleveland.
