It wasn't always easy, but the Cleveland Cavaliers keep rolling.
Cleveland defeated the Chicago Bulls 108-105 in Wednesday's Eastern Conference showdown at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse and improved to 36-17 on the season and 18-2 in its last 20 games.
The Cavaliers were in comeback mode for much of the contest, but five free throws from Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland in the last minute proved to be the difference. Chicago still had the opportunity to tie it and force overtime in the final seconds, but Coby White's three-pointer didn't fall.
Mitchell drew MVP chants in crunch time and ended up with 30 points, seven assists and six rebounds as one of six Cleveland players in double figures.
