So it was mostly against DeAndre Liggins, Cory Jefferson, Jonathan Holmes, Jordan McRae and Kay Felder, who of course also scored 63 first half points and led by nine. But the Bulls Friday in riding Rajon Rondo’s strong third quarter play, the playmaking of Dwyane Wade and the force of Taj Gibson drove ahead and defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers, or some form of them, 118-108.
Rondo had 20 points, half in a third quarter when the Bulls got the lead for the first time and pulled away. He also had six rebounds, six assists and six turnovers. Gibson, again the most consistent player in the 2-2 preseason, added 18 points and 11 rebounds and Wade had another flashy all around game with 11 points, six rebounds and five assists.
