LeBron James had a 28-7-7-game but Bulls rookie Patrick Williams did a solid job defensively in his first ever matchup between the two players. Zach LaVine misfired on a potential go ahead bucket from eighteen feet with just a handful of seconds remaining but overall, LaVine was brilliant with 38 points-19 coming in the first quarter. Thad Young was solid on post ups scoring 15 points on 7-12 from the floor. Wendell Carter Jr. with another impressive outing, scoring a season high 23 points and grabbing seven rebounds. Wesley Matthews Jr. hurt the Bulls in the third quarter scoring 12 points, benefitting from James' passing out of double teams. Montrezl Harrell was superb as he came through with a 17 points-14 rebounds game.
