The Chicago Bulls defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 99 - 93 Thursday at United Center . It was n't the best start for the home team , as the Bulls ( 36 - 39 ) struggled offensively through the first 24 minutes of Thursday 's game and faced a nine - point deficit at halftime . Then , something clicked for Chicago in the third quarter , as they nearly doubled up over the next 12 minutes and outscored the Cavaliers ( 47 - 27 ) by 16 points and held on to that lead for the remainder of the game . Nikola Mirotic continues to be on a hot streak , as he led the team Thursday with 28 points on 9 - of - 14 shooting and grabbed 10 rebounds . Jimmy Butler was n't too far behind , scoring 25 points of his own to go along with six rebounds and five assists . As a team , it was the Bulls hot outside shooting that carried them through the the second half , as they shot a scorching 48 percent from behind the arc . The victory completes a regular season sweep for the Bulls over Cleveland . As for the Cavaliers , they have now lost three straight games and drop to 6 - 10 over the month of March . The problems Thursday night stemmed from their lack of production from their second unit , as while four of five starters managed to score at least 12 points , the Cavaliers only got 12 total points form their bench . LeBron James led the way with an impressive performance , finishing with a team - high 26 points , 10 rebounds and eight assists in 39 minutes , while Kyrie Irving scored 20 points of his own . Up next , the Cavaliers will look to get back on the right track Friday against the 76ers , while the Bulls will continue their playoff push Saturday against the Hawks .
