Pregame, Billy Donovan said he’s looking for instances where he can get Coby White off the ball in catch-and-shoot situations to alleviate some of White’s responsibility and break out of his shooting slump. – 8:22 PM

One night after their “Leap Year celebration” from the 3-point line — 2/29 vs. DET — and after Coby White missed the Bulls’ first 3FGA tonight, Ayo Dosunmu finally drains one.
Cavs 11, Bulls 7 early. – 8:21 PM

Our @NBCSChicago crew just had a great find: Max Strus hit a game-winner longer than last night back when he played for D2 Lewis – 8:19 PM

Bulls forced to take a timeout less than three minutes in as the Cavs take a 9-4 lead.
Three turnovers by the Bulls + consecutive defensive miscues that gave Mobley easy looks under the basket. – 8:17 PM

Billy Donovan timeout just 2:39 into this one. Shorthanded Bulls have allowed 9 points already and little resistance at rim – 8:16 PM

Mavs have successfully negotiated any gut-punch hangover from Cleveland. They scored seven in a row to tie the game at 25. – 8:02 PM

Coming up at 6:45 on Bulls Radio. @670TheScore Billy Donovan on Coby White and my one on one interview with the Cavs Max Strus ( Stagg High, DePaul, Lewis, WC Bulls, Bulls) -who hit the game winning 59 foot shot last night against Dallas. – 7:28 PM

Caruso wanted to play against the Cavs, but his right hammy had other ideas. So no Zach, no PWill, no Torrey, No Lonzo and no Caruso.
That’s about $82.5 mill in street clothes or chillin’ at the pad tonight and playing Fortnite while the Cavs run these dudes out the building. – 6:32 PM

NBA rules there was only one incorrect call in the wild final 2 minutes of #Cavs and #Mavericks last night. Not Darius Garland getting tackled. Jarrett Allen should have been called for an offensive 3 second violation at the 1:54 mark before one of Donovan Mitchell’s go-ahead 3s. – 6:28 PM

Cavaliers present prime opportunity to start double-big lineup. But Bulls certainly hope Alex Caruso is ready by Friday vs. Bucks since they’d be down Caruso, PWil and TCraig vs. Giannis. Yikes. – 6:24 PM

This was the only missed call cited from last night — not insignificant, since Mitchell sank a 3-pointer 2.5 seconds later to give Cleveland a 115-113 lead. pic.twitter.com/1WeZ4bPcys – 5:19 PM

The L2M from last night in CLE. And Mavs fans, you’re NOT going to be happy. The Kyrie offensive foul. The no call on Jarrett Allen leading to the Mitchell banked 3pt. The no call on PJ’s go ahead shot. All ruled proper. official.nba.com/l2m/L2MReport.… – 4:19 PM

Right back to it for Mavs in TOR after that soul crusher last night in CLE. And they happen to catch TOR at a bad time, w/ Raps owning its 1st 3 game win streak this season & coming off a win at IND. @KevinGraySports pre at 6. Tip w/@bdameris & me at 6:30 @971TheFreak – 3:06 PM

In the same week our very own @Scalabrine returned from Mexico, we may have just had the Spanish radio call of the year. Take a listen to Rafa Hernández-Brito’s call of Max Strus’ half court game winner last night!
