NBA: Caris LeVert, Cavaliers hold off Bulls in closing seconds

The Hindu  

Caris LeVert scored 23 points and made a big defensive play to prevent DeMar DeRozan from hitting the game-winning shot as the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers survived a rocky finish and held on for a 103-102 victory over the Chicago Bulls. DeRozan made a strong move to the hoop to make it 103-102 with 29.8 seconds left, and on the next possession LeVert was called for a shot clock violation with 5.8 seconds left. Kevin Love added 20 points and nine rebounds for the Cavaliers, who survived a rough night from star Donovan Mitchell and also played without Evan Mobley while shooting 45.9 percent. Chicago shot nearly 61 percent and held a 30-28 lead after the opening quarter, but Cleveland ripped off a 13-0 run and took a 46-36 edge on LeVert’s 3-pointer with 8:16 remaining in the second quarter before taking a 60-55 lead by halftime.
