Bulls' Jimmy Butler: Posts triple-double in Friday win
Butler supplied 18 points (7-19 FG, 4-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 39 minutes in Saturday's 117-99 win over the Cavaliers.
Analysis:
With LeBron James missing the game with an illness, Butler found a little less resistance than usual against the Cavs. He parlayed the opportunity into his first triple-double of the season, despite shooting under 40 percent for the second straight game. Butler actually compiled 12 of his 18 points with superb long-range shooting, as his four made three-pointers equaled a season high.
