Dwyane Wade was the most effective Bulls player on the floor Monday, and stepped up even with superstar Jimmy Butler sidelined because of a heel injury. Wade's 31 points came with six rebounds, three assists and one steal on 12 - of - 18 shooting, while Michael Carter-Williams, who drew the start in favor of Butler, went on to score 21 points, grab six rebounds and dish out four assists. DeMarcus Cousins needed more than his 18 points and poor shooting effort to make it a closer contest, but was a monster on the rebounding effort, evidenced by his 18 points and 14 rebounds. Cousins' 5 - of - 16 shooting fell far below his season average. Both teams shot efficiently from the floor as a unit, but the Bulls finished with a slightly better night, going for 53 percent shooting, compared to the Kings' 52 percent effort.
