CHICAGO -- Well, someone had to win on Sunday afternoon.
The Cleveland Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls, two of the NBA's worst teams, traded gentle taps for 48 minutes. And just like the Nov. 10 matchup between the Cavs and Bulls in Chicago, this contest came down to the final possession.
This time, the Cavs came up with the critical stop.
At the same basket where Collin Sexton had his shot blocked at the buzzer in November, Chicago's Zach LaVine had his chance for a tie. But his 3-point attempt over Cedi Osman bounced off the rim as the buzzer sounded, and the Cavs exhaled after nearly squandering an eight-point lead in the fourth quarter.
