Chicago Bulls Vs Cleveland Cavaliers Full Game Final Oct 9, 2025 NBA Preseason
They got back into it late in the first with that defense and then both defenses good in the second. Giddy on the attack and a clean up from Okoro. And that’s why Aoro is here. He is a very good offensive rebounder. The Cats work quickly and answer back with a corner three from Tyson. So all that defense in the second quarter back to back hits. Well, you also go back and you say, you know, almost thousand earlier a nice few by Trey Jones. You know, the Bulls, you know, Co shot 10 free throws in the first six minutes of the game and they haven’t shot it since. So, the Bulls are tightening up their defense without fouling. [Applause] Collins fighting in the post with Allen. Backto back scores for the Bulls out of half on the baseline defense forces to give up and the miss is reled in by Giddy. So, as KC reported, good to see Giddy in there in the second half after just playing a half on Tuesday. See how long staff lets him go. Mitchell with the denial and the steal. I might have should have been a bounce pass that time by [Music] it might have been showtime going the other way. Mitchell got him on the way by. on the Cavaliers and right now I was turning the ball over here during the early going to the third quarter. Not looking at moments as a as a Bulls fan. You’re like, man, that’s that’s why we bought a ticket tonight to see Bruce Ellis do something in the full court. Well, he he’s going to give you your money’s worth. He’s he is a big time finisher most nights. I mean, you can count on at least two from him, but he’s on everybody’s scouting report now. You know, last year, you know, teams probably didn’t have him on the scouting report. he’s only play eight minutes, you know, so he wasn’t really studied as much. But as the second half moved on, you know, he started seeing different coverages and didn’t go. Jones gave it up and replaces in the corner and it goes started with Trey Jones dribble penetration got away. They didn’t call a charge for the flop. Gonzalez with a tap from behind. Now he scrambles back. Mitchell takes a look and steps into a miss and Giddy with another rebound. That’s why Josh is so important. He’s already got six rebound. Make that seven rebounds now. But I tell you, he’s going to give you at least two a game. Another good pass by Trey Jones. He’s got four assists and five rebounds. And Moy answers back with a three. That stopped the 90 Bulls run there. So, we got one for Brazil and this stays with the Bulls. Watch right here. We call some posters. They lost it. Ellis was asked about that little Uzi Vert nickname the other day. Mitchell hits a three and uh very humbly he said, “I feel like Lil Uzi V is probably upset that there’s another one of us out here.” Look at this. Good sense of humor about it. Off the pocket from Jones and you know he’s not little anymore. You know he’s not little boozy. He’s he’s second year now. Big boozyvert. This boozyvert right now. Boozy. There’s Hunter fouled. So he’s the new boozy after Carlos Boozer years ago. Right. That was a booze cruise. He was the booze cruise. Oh, that was a tough foul there. I thought Isaac Curry did a good job of staying vertical. DeAndre Hunter at the line for the Cavaliers. Let’s send Hunter to the line for a couple. First against the Bulls in this third. [Applause] Celebrate Derek Rose with the Rose Bundle.

We talk about, you know, Josh Giddy floating around a triple double right now. 11 points, five assists, and seven rebounds in 17 minutes. Another stat stuffy night for a guy that came close to averaging a triple double came on an extra pass to slides off. Ball movement. Good. Second chance for the Bulls. could be a three and no third chance as Mitchell. Well, maybe there will be a third chance as Okoro stayed with it and they go foul instead of jump ball. There’s a hurry right there. Good hustle. I tell you, Bulls fans going to really like this kid. You know, he he comes with it every single night. He’s going to play highlevel basketball, which is correct. So, got it right in the end. Yeah, that would have been a tough foul call. Yeah, it would have been. So it’s Mitchell and Okoro. Look at the strength of Trey Jones. He just pushed Tyson out the way like he was the launch here. Uhhuh. It’s going the other way. Okoro saying what? [Music] Oro called for that foul. Second against the Bulls in the third. Well, Cororo tonight has five fouls. So that’s his fifth already. Yeah. With 840 in the third. Well, they they called it on the jump ball. He kind of clamped down shoulder. But that’s fine on him. He’s got to be careful. Look at that. That’s a wrestling match going on. Trey Jones called for it. So two quick ones against the Bulls. Billy Donovan will let Oo ride with those five fouls. Well, that’s exactly what Mus Buzzel said about Okoro coming to this team is we’re talking about physicality. He is he’s personifying it. Oh, he’s he’s just a tough guy again overlooking Cleveland. Moy was double gave it up for a three for Hunter. That was a good ball move that time. That and that’s when you when you see guys get double team, you step in, you got to make that shot. Shooters got to make shots. They have to start doing that as well. You got to make those shots to make teams pay. Giddy multiple threes tonight and a tough one for Mitchell in response. He’s got such a strong upper body. Wow, that’s a foul. Tyson underneath Buzzelis came in on Collins, too. Cavaliers and they will call the foul on Tyson. You got to be careful with those kind of plays right there. Boy, you take a knee out. GL popped up quickly. Now an offensive foul. He baited. He baited the official to call that as he reached in first and they didn’t call that and then as soon as you know Trey Jones came up to act like he took it for extra on the cell like one of those LeBron James acting schools with the turn got him. I tell you what, he is smooth. He is real smooth. He sure has nobody blocking shots and scoring at a high level tonight. 16 points. Giddy. No. Our right there for the cleanup. That’s that’s where he is going to give the Bulls a huge boost. Second chance opportunities going to the rim trying to get offensive rebounds. No look. Tyson curling Collins. There’s the four. Moy saved it. Tyson attacks Collins who hung in tough, stayed vertical. Now Giddy looking for guys running with him. Nice pass. I’m telling you, he’s further out with a triple double tonight again. 14 points. He’s got four assists, five assists, and eight rebounds. Getting to play in the second half. Maybe he gets there. Here’s Ellis has the on ball defense and calling for the fourth Bulls foul. Who likes to pass? Kobe passes. I mean, there there’s a team full of passes that are very unselfish. 21 assists to 16 turnovers. Yeah, the monster. Oh, those steals, baby. I like to see it. Jones has really looked nice out here in his old four steals the other night and Bulls give it back. That’s the Jones take and Collins punches it away. And this is where they got to punish him. Push that ball. Don’t let the big guy get back. Get settled in there. numbers back for Cleveland as Giddy using his size on Porter. Spins away from the help. Now he needs some help. Well, he got his dribble back and short and Collins scrapping will be called for the foul. Fifth again. They um they are they are really good. The Bugger Boys are really good. You ever grab the drumsticks, get in there with them? You know, I I play the drums, but I don’t really know what I’m playing when I’m just banging on them, just making noise. That’s all I can do. Just wait. You be the cowboy guy. I’m the singer. I’m the singer guy. I’m not the guy in the background. Okay. I’m not Ringo star. Okay. I am I’m the singer. I’m the lead singer. Are you ready to sing? It’s nationwide. It’s It’s that time. Oh, no. You read this. I’m just singing. That’s your read. All right. Hey, Bulls fans, follow our Bulls insider, Casey Johnson, at csn.com. Presented by nationwide insurance agent Jeff Vukovich. get to enjoy knowing Vuke as much as you do. The jingle at jeffv.com nationwide is on your side. Okay, Connor, you just messed the whole thing up. See, you just you just messed it up, man. You see, this is why there’s Michael and there’s Tito, there’s Tito, and then there’s there’s Jackie. Michael’s out front. See, you were, you know. Okay, I’m going to workshop that at Trader Todd’s. Okay, we’ll work on that. We’ll work on next time I give you the Q. That three goes. ball strutting back after giving the Cavs the lead. That was a good game. Really competitive. That’s what you want in a second preseason game. Just to cut it. Giddy was flashing. Now they got it to him halfway through the shot clock. Ball rips it and a jump ball. Jump. [Applause] That’s one of the things the Bulls in this offense. They’re going to have to not be afraid to make those passes, not worry about making turnovers. like that cut by Josh Giddy was wide open. Jaylen Smith just bounced past right there as a layup and I’m sure when they watch the film they’ll see that and that’s something they can get really good at. I mean they they do a really good job of cutting and you got a lot of good passers. Josh Giddy with the hops. Yeah. Getting up winning the jump. So 8 seconds to operate. Smith ball fake got the shot blocker to get off his feet. I tell you, Josh Giddy at 6’8. That’s why he just brings so much to the table. Now, for Jaylen Smith, I know you respect his three-point shooting, but you got to make him shoot that. You can’t let him put that ball on the floor and drive from that far out. Let the rookie in there. Noah Sen, the first round pick for the Bulls away with a miss. Casey, you got more? Yeah, I talked to Noah at length this morning at the shootaround guys and you know there’s this perception that he’s going to be spending some time with the Windy City Bulls in the G-League this year and I asked him if that would bother him if he’d consider that a demotion and he said absolutely not. In fact, his first season playing professionally in Germany, he vacasillated between the junior team and the national team before asserting himself down the stretch of that first season and finishing with the senior team. So he said, “Look, any pro experience to him as an 18-year-old is going to be good experience.” So he’s got the right mindset. He’s also leaning on Modis Buselis, who obviously spent some time, a few games with the Windy City Bulls in the G-League last season. So Noah’s leaning on Modis for some advice there, but this guy’s got a really good mentality. And you know, the organizational mindset with Noah Sen is that he’s a guy who just knows how to play and he doesn’t need the ball to make an impact. And you saw that on Tuesday night in Cleveland and maybe we’ll see that again here with some minutes tonight. Yeah, I I expect him right now as an 18-year-old, you just want high energy. You want blocking shots. You want to get offensive rebounds and then let the game come to you offensively. You know, he’s got to get playing time. I mean, he whether it’s like 15 minutes, 18 minutes, Billy Billy’s a lot of time with a rookie, he leans more on his veteran players. So, it may not be this year that he gets to play a lot, but he So you he’s got to take advantage of the minutes that he’s going to get, the reps he’s going to get down in Windy City, and show the Bulls coaching staff like, “Hey, I should be a big player.” A chance to do it against NBA players tonight. Stravon Carter in the game. Just hit that three. Now he’s got the steal. The vet out of Maywood for East High School. It’s Douman. I do going to get three the hard way. Nice play right there. He blew down baseline right there. You saw the Cleveland Cav playing on on Asen one. You love the attitude that he’s saying I’m I’m willing to to go to the G- League. As a Bulls fan, you can dream a little bit with his core, can’t you? With Buzzel Asen as he develops and now with Giddy locked up for four years. Well, I mean, the Bulls, you know, last year with with Modis. Oh, they call that, you know, with Modis coming in as an 18-year-old, 19 year old kid, you know, he he came along slowly, but he showed you flashes when you saw him out on the court, you know, he just needed minutes. And once they made those trades and they, you know, they freed up some minutes for him where he took off. And you see the confidence he has coming into year two. And I see the same thing with Noah, you know, getting an opportunity to play because the only way you’re going to get better is to play. you you could you could you know and being in the GLeague is going to be he’s he’s going to be at a point like Modus Modus went down there and dominated the G- League. He he clearly showed that he didn’t really need to be down there. He needed to be at the NBA level. And I I think this kid is going to have the same opportunities. Come out there and play hard. Show that you need to be up at the at the, you know, the NBA level. And you need to start developing this kid because he he’s got a huge upside. He’s got long arms. He’s long athletic. You know, you don’t you know where is he playing? Is he is he a three or four? You don’t know yet, but the intangible things that he has he brings to the table. I mean, you got to be excited about when he’s 18 years old. No matter the level, you know, as Senate, his his fullcourt game is going to travel what he can do in the open court. Yeah. Just I mean, just run the break, field lane, dunk, his best attribute coming out of the traps, a three and swirls out. Allen there on the rebound. And what people forget, I mean, this this is still, even though there’s a lot of veteran guys this year with the three, what a young team. He’s still a young team. There’s guys in there 22, 23 years old. You know, Patrick Williams, you know, you think he’s been here for, you know, 10 years. You know, he’s a he’s a young guy. He’s 24. That’s 24 years old. That’s that’s what made me laugh at at media day. B kept asking, “Why do you guys keep asking me about my age?” Here’s Asenge and Carter, one of the vets on this young team. And those two on the combination. Carter saves it. Asen and Smith with Asen in pursuit. And keep it with the Bulls. Yeah, but but V’s like, “Why are you guys asking me about my age? I feel like a spring chicken at 35 or 34 years old.” Yeah, both him and Carter are definitely the veterans. Now here’s Carter. Ball back in his hands. They’re working on Wade. Five on the shot clock. Falling away short. Mitchell with a quick pivot. Cap’s best player still in there late third quarter creating for Wade three. And he got back to back. He’s a key reserve for them. He plays a lot of different roles. Plays a little stretch four. Strong defensive player, rebounder. played for former Illinois head coach Bruce Weber at Kansas State in college and is stuck in the NBA. Wade now in his seventh year in the association. Down to two to go. I think floater. No, Williams puts it away. Good offensive rebound by Patrick Williams. Porter out for Wade as he has three in a row. Now the Bulls get a stop. They were seven and eight. They were seven and eight from the three-point line. That be for that miss right there. So they are shooting lights right out. Carter steps back and it kiss myself. He’s instant offense. There were some games last year when he came in and just got the moves going with some really good offense. Remember that game in Atlanta? Offensive rebound Allen. Smith stays strong. Block and hit ahead. Carter waiting for guys to come with him and he’ll fill. I think he thought it was a foul called. It got so loud in here they couldn’t hear and everybody the plays kind of stopped on the other end. I thought he was waiting maybe for a Senate to to come and one. No. Hey, listen. Devon Carter trying to score. Two is two. Yeah, that that game in Atlanta though last year for for Carter when he got the the offense going that 25 26 points in that game giving him some punch off the bench in this third quarter. Perto streaking to the rim and got the wrong heels to play in this temp up tempo. He gets downhill in a hurry. IO up to 10 points on the night in 17 minutes. Well, Lob Mitchell reversed it. See, that’s where Lonzo is so good. Like, no one even saw that pass being made. I don’t think Javon Carter saw it. And I mean, he was fronting fronting it on the post. That was almost at half court. The Bulls have another buzzer beating up. Down to three. Carter two down to one. Carter gets it away. Two out of three is pretty good. 18 17 points in a quarter where they’re struggling offensively. I don’t think that’s going to be a problem this year as far as them getting their offense going. It’s just being able to control the other teams defensively. The Bulls set a franchise record last season. 117 points per game. Also over 9,500 points. Also a franchise record to start the fourth quarter. Porter hasn’t popped out. The Bulls with Terry who was their finisher defensively in the game the other night. Do a double figure scoring night. Here’s Carter. Offense like Jiffy Pop. He put it on the stove and it just takes a second before it starts popping. It is popping. But whenever he gets on the floor, Dean knows what he needs to do. The proc sweeps in and Smith wipes the glass. Good challenge by Noah. Long arms. using the legs giving the Bulls another chance in the half court. Nice pass by Dalon Terry and that’s where you see Don Dalen Terry’s game starting from that first game in the preseason. He’s slowing down the made a nice pass to six for the dunk. Stacy, the Bulls want to see one of those three wings, if not multiple, make a big jump this year. Terry’s looked like he’s well on his way first two games. I envision Dalon Terry as being like kind of like a Marcus Mark type, you know, where he’s a defensive stopper. He come in, he can guard multiple positions, one, two, or three. He can run your offense for you. Get off the break. He got nice size. He’s 6’7. So, there’s so many things that when you look at him, man, he’s like there’s so many things you want to do. He’s like you can put him in so many different situations and playing with so many different groups. That’s how versatile he is. And I think this year is so important to him because as you know, you know, as you get older in this league and you’ve been in this league like three years, the game slows down for you. You know, that first year is like everything’s 100 miles an hour. The athletes are bigger, stronger, faster than what you saw in college. And you got to remember Don was a young kid, too. Almost paid it off. Had an open look. But he’s got nice size. He’s got nice length. But if he comes in and focuses on being a defensive stopper, there’s Tomlin takes the body and heads to the line. You got to think for Terry last year too, Dalon. Terry, last year was his first year to to truly consistently play a lot and learn on the job or it was more developmental his first two years in the league. Well, and he had the luxury of guys getting hurt. You know, when you get guys hurt, the opportunity presents itself for you to step up and play. Well, Bull’s full and partial season ticket plans are still available. Season ticket holders receive exclusive benefits, invites to exclusive events, merchandise discounts, and more. Find the plan that’s right for you at bulls.com/tick. [Applause] But Connor, the the whole thing is is that in order to get better, you have to play. You’re not going to get better sitting on the bench. You can learn a lot, you know, be a student of the game, but getting out there in actual going out there and playing and executing the things that you’re learning in tape and listening to coaches, you know, you got to go out there and experience it, you know, and this team is starting their younger players are starting to develop here and you’re starting to see the growth. Terry in his fourth year out of Arizona, the 18th overall pick in 2022. This will be sideline out. Changed his number this year. Mhm. It’s a whole new look. I see seven on a bowl jersey. I I think Ben Gordon. I think Tony Cuck coach. Oh, that too. Yeah. Yeah. You got to first of all, first of all, I love Dan. You got to go ask Tony, can you wear that number, man? Seriously, you might have to call Ben Gordon, too. And Ben, do you mind if I wear number seven? But yeah, for TK Tony Ko, yeah, you might have to go ask him for to borrow that number. Why did Why was it Gordon first in my mind? Tony Cuck Coach is my favorite player growing up, even even with all the great players around. And then not to mention, he’s a Hall of Famer. Yep. So yeah, you got you got to give my boy you got to give my boy Tony a call and see see if he let him jersey. Beautiful from IO taking it to the rack to lead by six. There’s a lot of pressure right number seven. You got a Hall of Famer wore that jersey. Ben Gordon wore that jersey. You got to come with it every night. Foul S with the on ball defense. There he is. Right there. There he is. Look at Tony. Tony. Tony’s got that look like, hey, nobody asked me could he have that jersey. Look at him. That’s my guy, man. Tonyy’s one of the coolest boy serious golfer, man. You talk about You talk about a golfer, man. Yeah. You better bring a checkbook. You play with him. Yeah. Those are uh November on November 22nd against the Wizards. John Paxton. Your your old partner Neil Funk will be part of that. Be there. Morris Grant North fan leader. Bill Cartwright. Oh yeah. Great class. November 22nd against the Wizards here at the UC. Foul that counts on the three for Tyrese Proctor. Proctor had a good game the other night against the Bulls. Shot the ball very very well. Talking to to some people before the game about about Proctor and his career at Duke. And Kenny Atinson, the Cavs head coach, said three years at Duke is almost like one year in the NBA. That’s how he equated it to him being NBA ready. Well, because they do a great job of getting their players prepped and ready to play at the next level. John Sh a great great coach coach and the players, you know, you don’t know the rumor was that the player didn’t want him or Kevin Durant didn’t want him and you know, he’s a great coach. You mean motivates his team, the players love playing for him and he went out and helped Golden State. Steve Kerr was on their bench. That wouldn’t sit down. Offensive rebound out to Proctor. Atkinson, the reigning NBA coach of the year in his second chance as an NBA head coach for his first year in Cleveland last year. Five on the shot clock. Tyson blocked Phillips. Terry, excuse me. Terry had the block. Now he’s out on the break. Terry off the rim. Terry with a good defensive play. Couldn’t reverse it. Here’s Travers in transition and he’s fouled by Smith. We saw Dalon Terry’s shot blocking ability under the basket the other night. We saw it on the perimeter for the Bulls that last trip down.

Yeah. Jake Elliott, the Eagles kicker. Lions Lions Township High School. Yeah, we were uh we were we were four for four on extra points. No big deal. And then I got fired as the holder. I can hear Glory Days playing in the background. You better have some video of that. Yeah, I’m sure there’s some grainy VHS tape somewhere. It wasn’t that long ago, Stace. I’m not that old. Casey greeted me that way today. He said, “Yeah, Jake Elliot told me. Good to meet you.” Where did you learn that? Oh, David Han told me. Oh, man. Casey, he he finds out everything, man. Jay Kelly, you play football? A little bit. Yeah. What was your national condition? Well, I got fired as our quarterback and then I was a safety because I was angry and wanted to hit people after I got fired as the quarterback. At least you on the field, brother. That’s all that’s all you say. You might have just been, you know, might have been a holder, but you just got to play safety and got to tackle people. Yeah. I was uh I was also the second man to uh Max Struce in baseball. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. I saw Max come holler at you. He’s he was a stud, man. He was He played baseball. Oh, yeah. Great pitcher, great center fielder. Emanuel Miller underneath and he’s headed to the free throw line. First run for the secondyear player out of TCU. Max Stress, I tell you. There he is right there. First, I didn’t recognize him. I didn’t know who that was. I thought it was Jason Baitman. Oh, like J baby at the game. This is Smartless with Max Duce. Yeah, I mean Jay-Z I don’t What’s that movie? That’s that show that he’s on now with uh Jude Law. Like uh man, it’s on HBO, I think. But he’s got long hair like that. He’s got his hair all long. I don’t even recognize him. That’s what I thought. I thought you were thinking Ozark at first. You didn’t He didn’t look like that in Ozark. It was it was I don’t know what it is, but it’s a movie with it’s a show with Jude Law. They’re brothers in a bar and he has long hair now. I didn’t even recognize. That’s why I thought Max Stru was when he rolled up on us. Huh. Jason Haven is here. That’s short free throw line trip coming. I don’t think Max Duce even with the injury is uh I don’t think he’s got the IMDb page rolling. This let me tell you something. Max Stru can shoot the basketball. Yeah. I mean, he we had him here for a hot second. He was in he was in a bull zone towards ACL, but then Miami picked him up and you know, that’s you know, Miami is always finds guys, you know, that, you know, other teams may not see that they can use him and they find a way to to make him and he they made him I mean, he came out and had a great run to Miami. both him and you know Bonham and uh you know Duncan and I mean those guys him and him and Duncan Robinson perfect for that team. There’s a charge on Olrich. [Music] Actually, they got that on a Senate, his second. And when Shrooz is when Shrooz is healthy, he really gives him another element, too, coming off their bench. Sometimes he starts for him, but he he’s a guy that stretches the floor. You can’t guard you can’t leave Darius Garland. You can’t leave Donov Mitchell to go help double team because they have the guys from round up. Thomas Bryant of the game for the Cavs. Puts it away. The Strus made his his NBA debut with the Bulls just two games. You mentioned he got hurt that career ar got him his first contract. There’s Kamura’s vision. I tell you what, well, he knows how to play basketball. Had a great summer league for the Bulls. Earned a two-way contract. And Bryant with backto-back hits this from outside. Bryant coming in and showing his range. Here’s Kamura downhill again. He’s so creative. He is an igniter off the bench for the boys. He’ll find you. How about that notebook set up in a senate three into the hands of Travers and Olrich called for the foul. Cavs will shoot a 5 foot eight. That gets talked about a lot. He was the shortest man in the NBA last year. That’s a uh that’s an inch shorter than old bull Nate Robinson when he was here. Well, you know what? He’s not he’s not some novelty. He can actually he can play. He I mean they loved him in Memphis last year. I mean John John Morant talks about him glowingly, you know, and he came he he sees the floor and people got a glimpse of him this summer and I know you know summer league and summer league but he said that at the NBA level, you know, and it’s just, you know, I think the biggest thing I think people worry about him because he’s solid. You know that you know the guards that are bigger, you know, try to take him down low. But, you know, he’s a strong he’s a strong kid. He’s not going to let you just post him up. Hard to switch him on defense. Well, you you design schemes. You design schemes for him defensively, you know, where he doesn’t get. Here’s Travers going at him. And one chance to tie the game with 408 left. The baskets Mo Gay called for his first foul and his first run as a bowl. Gay didn’t play the other night [Applause] [Music] and Travers can’t tie it. So the Cavs have left eight points out there at the free throw line in this fourth quarter. their eighth miss free throw. The Aussie Olrich on the take shut off Yuki can’t hit. Hear the crowd rise when he has the ball in his hand. Proctor rattles out a three. Miller the rebound. This fan base so locked in even like you mentioned it was just summer league but some buzz around Yuki what he did this summer in Vegas. kick. Miller can’t hit the triple. Gay keeps it alive. Oh, what a pass. Gay is there again. And I tell you what, that was a nice pass. A quick little tap pass. Great vision. So, the Bulls up by three with a hustle trip on a third chance. Can’t get Bryant out of there. Well, that time over didn’t turn and box out. I mean, he just turned and went right to the rim and Bryant with a running start from the perimeter. Got that offensive rebound. So, here we go inside three minutes. It’s a one-point game and Yuki’s right there. As Enlicing and underneath he is fouled. Oh, Yuki don’t hurt him. That’s why Michael was ahead. Everybody else’s, but the Jackson five was really Michael. Okay. And you know that’s how it is sometimes. You know, you got to have a lead singer. You can’t Everybody can’t sing and you’re you’re not you’re not everybody guitar. Maybe you you tambourine guy. Yeah. You’re right. You know, you snap the tambourines. That’s not a bad gig. I signed you the cowbell earlier. So cowbell cowbell. We just need a a triangle. Get Adam on the triangle. Yes. Adam can sing too. There’s Miller up the hand for the D. Good pass. DJ Adam mean musically gifted. Good hands. Hands on it. Yuki. Great vision. D caught him off guard. Little hot for him. He didn’t He wasn’t ready for that. He saw He saw Yuki looking to the left. He saw you coming. He saw you coming in at half court. Yuki’s got great vision. Look at him. knocks down some shots. He has eight points with 16 threes on the night for the Cavs. Bulls with 14 now locked up at 110. Olrich into the body of move by the rookie. So in the book with a handi steal. Billy Donovan saying push. Get it into the half court here. Yuki wick attacks the close out. Driving in. Nice little strong move to the basket. A little shot fake. So with his first two preseason baskets as a bull and has him back up by four. an individual 40 run. Proctor on the cross. Miller’s right with him. Step back and he got it. Big time move right there. Rookie Proctor, another former Blue Devil makes it a two-point game inside a minute ago. Bulls getting some work in the late game late clock stuff the first two preseason games. Kamura driving kick. It’s Gay. It’s a three way off. Bryant secures the rebound and Cleveland with a chance to tie it or take the lead. It’s Proctor for the Yuki on the glass. Shot clock is still on. It’s a a 9second differential. All right, let’s see see if you can get him in something good here. Got Killian Hayes on the defensive. Exchange with Gay who comes up to set the screen. Five on the shot clock, 15 in of the game. Yucky. [Applause] He got into the paint and almost finished that. Reacting in a big way to him also. Listen, he he’s going to be down at the G League. I’m tell you something. He’s going to be a fan favorite when he gets a chance. He knows how to play basketball. Well, he’s a very got a high basketball IQ. Earned his two-way contract this summer and left it short. So, still a chance for the Cavs and they’ll advance it and take a timeout. Bulls up three. A big point of what they do. The officials put 710 back up there. A three. No rebound. There’s five Yukis out there. Yuki mania. Yuki times five dominating the glass. He’s rebounding. Got a steal. He’s going to the free throw line and a chance to possibly ice it. Still 6.8 left. Two trip lead. Yeah, you can drive home safely. Chicago beat. Looks like they’re going to pull this one out. [Music] This is really icy here. Counts out the one time out left and the Bulls are up five. Just playing just let no foul. No fouls. Little resistance but no fouls. Hayes brings it up. Roger three. No. Get out of here. I don’t think they’re going to let it. Come on. Come on. Let it go. Let it go. Yeah. The coaches they say let it go. Come on. Preseason view the Elsa. Yeah. Plays under review. There’s a defensive foul prior to the end of the period. We will review to determine how much time’s left in the game. Oh no. Good. Oh my goodness. Thought it’d be over. There was some time that went up on the clock. Well, you saw you saw the push. You saw the push when it went when it went down that way. So, but those are the kind that if you’re the official veteran officials to let that go back to the bush.9 Chicago shoot the penalty. I was going to say 0.9 is enough to to catch and shoot, but they are in the penalty. So, well, you know, the only the only positive out is for Gay to get to shoot the free throws. Like, hey, I get to shoot the free throws. I need some points. Uhhuh. You know, so he scored tonight. He’s got two. So he gets a chance to score. Mo Gay had the the hustle rebound that led him to get in the book. Chance to add a couple of more with 0.9 on the clock. Good win for the Bulls. This is this how you establish culture. You win these games. These were close games against a good team. [Applause] That always comes with a caveat as tips. Oh, that’s three.
