Despite the problems with the line-up, Chicago continues to gain victories. In the last two matches, the Raptors defeated the Lakers (115:110) and Houston (133:118). These successes allowed the Bulls to gain a foothold in the second line of the Eastern Conference. In recent matches, Zach Lavigne, Ayo Dosunmu and Trey Brown have not played for the Bulls. However, this did not really affect the game of “Chicago”. They have Nikola Vucevic, Lonzo Ball and DeMar Derozan. The successful play of the team largely depends on this trio. Also in the previous match, Cobie White surprised. In 31st minute on the floor he scored 24 points and made five rebounds.
The youth “Cavaliers” are simply breaking up the Eastern Conference. The team at one point turned on and is already going third, while leaving behind the reigning champion Milwaukee, as well as Miami and Philadelphia. Cleveland are unbeaten in six matches, although there are six players in the infirmary, including Colleen Sexton and Denzel Valentine, who would certainly strengthen the team. In the last meeting JB Bickerstaff’s charges dealt with the Bucks on the road (119-90). The guests were simply unstoppable and Jedi Osman and Darius Garland scored 45 points. The Cavalry keep the bar high and will be able to quickly catch up with Chicago at this rate. In the next match the club will face a difficult test, because the guys are going to Massachusetts, where they will face Boston.
