Wrap-Up -- Before the season tipped off, the Wine & Gold talked about this year being one of “wins and lessons.”
The wins have been hard to come by, but the lessons have been frequent – including another painful one on Saturday night.
Once again, the shorthanded Cavaliers fought valiantly for 48 minutes. And once again, they were stung in the closing seconds – as the Bulls rebuffed Collin Sexton’s potential game-winner at the buzzer, sealing the 99-98 win in the Windy City.
The Cavaliers and Bulls – each missing several key players – went toe-to-toe for four quarters, with Cleveland cutting Chicago’s late five-point lead to just one on Rodney Hood’s thunderous dunk with just over a minute to play.
