The Celeveland Cavaliers (1 - 1) defeated the Chicago Bulls (1 - 1) 114 - 108 in overtime Friday. LeBron James was able to get his groove back in the Cavs' second game of the season Friday after putting up a subpar performance in his homecoming game Thursday. James finished with 36 points, eight rebounds, and four steals to lead the way for the Cavs as they secured their first win of the new LeBron James era in Cleveland. Kevin Love posted a second straight double - double, finishing with 16 points and 16 rebounds, while backup big man Tristan Thompson stepped up off the bench and posted a big double - double of his own, finishing with 16 points and 13 rebounds in 36 minutes. Derrick Rose sprained his left ankle when he came down on Kyrie Irving's foot after a shot attempt. Rose stayed in the game initially but was later removed and never returned to action, instead opting to ice the injury in locker room. It is unclear how severe the injury is at this time, but in an effort to avoid further injury, it would n't be surprising to see the Bulls err on the side of caution and keep Rose out of action until his ankle is back at full strength. Jimmy Butler (thumb) went through shootaround Friday but was not ready to lace up his shoes and get back on the court. Kirk Hinrich started in Butler's absence, and Hinrich's late - game heroics had the game all but locked up before the Cavaliers enjoyed a favorable foul call and a bad defensive foul by second - year player Tony Snellthat allowed them to tie it up and force overtime. The Cavaliers have three days off with their next game not coming until Tuesday at the Moda Center against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Bulls will finish off a back - to - back set when they play on the road against the Timberwolves on Saturday.
