Despite a ton of will and effort, the Cavs came out on the short end of an epic instant classic against the Bulls in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals. In the end, though it was ostensibly due to the sharp sting of a Derrick Rose banked-in three pointer as time expired, it was the Cavs’ inability to execute their offense in the face of some tenacious Bulls defense that put them in that position to begin with.
The Cavs got stuck in a traffic jam on their way to the game, causing them to be a half hour late to the United Center before Game 3.
