LeBron James could have called in sick last night. Maybe he should have. With the other two members of the big three missing in action, and the flu bug hitting hard enough to force him to miss practice, it would have been an easy and acceptable decision by the King to take a day off. Instead, he chose to fight through his illness and try to gut out the Cavs’ last home game for a while against the Chicago Bulls. It almost worked.
The Game
Overall, despite missing three fifths of their starting lineup, the Cavs got out to a fast start… going up 15-2 on the Bulls early.
