The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Chicago Bulls, 121-105, at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse on Wednesday evening.

The Cavaliers (21-37) and the Bulls (24-34) played out a battle of struggling teams but perhaps surprisingly, the team with the worst record end up getting the victory here. Cleveland started the game with a high tempo and literally ran Chicago out of court, grabbing a 34-12 lead in the first quarter and limiting the Bulls to just 5-for-16 shooting in the first 12 minutes. The Bulls responded in the second quarter with a 32-27 score and showed signs of mounting a potential comeback, but Cleveland sealed the game for good with a 38-28 score in the third quarter. Chicago didn't have enough time to turn things around with only 12 minutes left on the clock and the Cavaliers didn't have problems to close things out despite losing the final quarter by a 33-22 score.

Collin Sexton led the Cavaliers in this victory with a 30-point victory that also included seven assists and three rebounds, while Darius Garland also added 25 points while putting up four assists, three rebounds and two steals. Kevin Love also posted a strong performance with 15 points, nine boards and four assists. Larry Nance Jr. and Isaiah Hartenstein contributed 10 points off the bench each, with Nance also adding four rebounds and Hartenstein grabbing six boards.

Coby White had 14 points and six assists to be one of the Bulls' top scorers in this contest -- he was one of four Chicago players that scored in double digits but was the only starter that accomplished that feat. Thaddeus Young had 14 points and eight rebounds off the bench. Lauri Markkanen paced the Bulls with 16 points.
