Cavs vs Bulls – D.J. Augustin Starting to Fit in
The injury list is endless, but the Chicago Bulls aren’t giving up on this season, especially when they meet an even more dysfunctional team in the Cleveland Cavaliers, beating the Cavs 100-84 thanks to some great defense and a big night from D.J. Augustin and Carlos Boozer.

No one expected Jimmy Butler to become such an important part of the Chicago Bulls last season, making the most of injuries and the playoff absence of Luol Deng.
