After losing two games in a row this past week, the pressure was right back on the Chicago Bulls to get a victory. When they needed it the most, they pulled out a 98-94 road victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The win now gives Chicago the tiebreaker over the Cavs along with some breathing room in the standings.
The Bulls had one of their better first halves in recent memory, going up by as much as 19. It looked like it was the start of a great bounce-back performance for Chicago, one which was much-needed given the standings.
