CHICAGO BULLS’ BENCH
CLEVELAND CAVALIERS' BENCH
CHICAGO BULLS’ NOTES
• Chicago got into the paint well off penetration. They just need to finish their shots now. Part of what happened last game was guys missing shots they would normally make on any other night. If Cleveland improves their defense this time around, the Bulls will have to finish over AV and Z and that will test whether or not the Bulls can convert.
• The Bulls ran some beautiful plays that caught Cleveland’s defense out of position. There’s one thing the Bulls could do and that is to scab-pick with Hinrich and Gordon. Run plays for the small guards over and over again. If it’s successful, even if Cleveland knows it’s coming, there’s little the Cavs can do.
CLEVELAND CAVALIERS' NOTES
• Zydrunas needs to have a big game, forgetting how he struggled in the last match up. Adjustments need to be made the second time around because Chicago showed aggressive fronting in the post.
• Cleveland took good care of the ball in their last encounter, having the same number of turnovers as the Bulls, while having 7 more assists. When playing a team that uses small ball, it’s vital to control the tempo, protect the ball and limit cheap points.
OVERVIEW
Cleveland broke the losing streak, possibly saving their postseason hopes in the process. The Bulls will be looking for revenge. This second game should prove every bit as intense as its predecessor.
