The Chicago Bulls defeated the Cavaliers 105-102 on Saturday, preventing them from clinching the Eastern Conference's No. 1 seed. It was the Cavs' second loss in a row, the end of a three-game trip, but the Bulls have been a bad matchup for Cleveland the last few years. The Cavs have two more games remaining, needing one win to grab the top spot, and they will be going all out for tonight's game at home to clinch and give LeBron some rest in the finale. The Cavs enter Monday with a two game lead over the Toronto Raptors, although Toronto holds the tiebreaker. It's a bad matchup for Atlanta and a tough situational spot, on the road after a four-game homestand. Cleveland swept the Hawks in last year's Eastern Conference Finals and has taken both regular season meetings this season, covering five of the last six head-to-head matchups. Play Cleveland.
