After weeks of an upward trajectory, the Chicago Bulls stumbled on a low-energy night in a 109-95 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday.The Cavaliers were missing the majority of their starters due to injury, but the size of their secondary rotation was enough to disrupt the Bulls and snap a three-game winning streak.
