The Cleveland Cavaliers (4 - 2) routed the Chicago Bulls (2 - 4), 94 - 73, on Thursday in Game 6 to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. The Bulls had a chance to bounce back on their home court to extend the series on Thursday, but the Cavaliers proved to be too much to handle. Cleveland was already missing Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving aggravated a knee injury, but its role players proved to be up to the challenge. Matthew Dellavedova filled in for Irving at point guard and was a key part of the Cavaliers pulling away in the second half. He finished with 19 points and two rebounds in 34 minutes off the bench, which made up for Irving's absence. With Thursday's win, LeBron James will play in the Eastern Conference Finals for the fifth straight season. The Conference Finals will begin Wednesday and the Cavaliers will face the winner of the Hawks-Wizards series. Cleveland built a sizeable lead by halftime and never relented. To emphasize how impressive the Cavaliers' victory was on Thursday, JeBron James was held to 15 points on 7 - of - 23 shooting and Kyrie Irving logged just 12 minutes of playing time. And yet, the Cavaliers still cruised to a 21 point victory. In addition to Dellavedova's big performance, J.R Smith added 12 points and Iman Shumpert scored 13 points. The Cavaliers will have nearly a week for their injured players to rest and rehab before taking the floor for the Eastern Conference Finals. Chicago's season came to an end on its home floor Thursday in blowout fashion. After an explosive 31 - point showing in the first quarter, the Bulls managed to score just 42 points over the last 36 minutes. Pau Gasol returned after a two game absence, but he was n't in his usual All-Star form. Gasol finished with just eight points and five rebounds over 24 minutes. Only two Bulls finished in double figures and no bench player scored more than seven points. This marks a disappointing end to the season for the Bulls, who viewed this series as one of their best opportunities in recent years to get past LeBron James to make the Conference Finals.
