Windy City Bulls lose to Cleveland

The Windy City Bulls dropped their second contest to the Cleveland Charge 125-99 Friday night. Despite the loss Windy City guard Ryan Woolridge notched a new season-high of 23 points, shooting 65% from the field.

Windy City entered the rematch shorthanded once again, and it was on display in the early minutes of the contest. The Charge opened the matchup on a 10-0 run, but the Bulls managed to cut the lead within three going into the second.

With both teams connecting under 50% from the field early in the second, the Bulls managed to pull ahead by one before the Charge regained control. Back-to-back 3s by Charge forward Miller Kopp gave Cleveland a double-digit lead once again before ending the half up by 14.

Despite the Bulls forcing six Charge turnovers in the third, Cleveland took control in the paint, with 20 points and 11 rebounds compared to just six boards for the Bulls. The Charge laid down the hammer in the fourth. Led by a 14-point quarter by Cleveland Cavaliers two-way center Olivier Sarr, the lead was extended by as much as 26. With no answer from the Bulls, the Charge left with the victory.
