Bulls home opener: Cavs win this round

Derrick Rose returned. Then he left in the second half with an ankle sprain. And the Bulls lose an overtime nailbiter to LeBron James and Cleveland.

3rd & 7 37yd

Gasol has the right idea. No double team, he should shoot every time. #Bulls

Kirk is a man possessed right now. He's everywhere. #Bulls

Awkward moment when you're backstage at a Chicago Bulls game and everyone is wearing your jacket http://pbs.twimg.com/media/B1UemWlCEAAe99z.jpg

4 blocks for Gasol tonight. Carlos who? #Bulls

by Christopher Sosa via twitter 11/1/2014 1:45:53 AM
All that and the #Bulls still see their gap increase to 9 points after 3. Hold on tight, folks.

Make that 5 blocks for Gasol. #Bulls

Love how Gasol has the volleyball form working. (Chris Sweda/Tribune photo)

Think Rose was hyped for this game? (Chris Sweda/Tribune photo)

Derrick Rose with a left ankle sprain is questionable to return. #CLEvsCHI

Kirk Hinrich, everybody! #Bulls by 2.

by Christopher Sosa via twitter 11/1/2014 2:20:50 AM
My guess is all the #Bulls players are secretly thinking "win it for Derrick."

by Christopher Sosa via twitter 11/1/2014 2:21:31 AM
16 points for Hinrich tonight. He's 3-4 from 3. #Bulls

by Christopher Sosa via twitter 11/1/2014 2:23:04 AM
Hinrich AGAIN! Wow. #Bulls

by Christopher Sosa via twitter 11/1/2014 2:24:24 AM
Heinrich is on fire

Oh my goodness is Thibodeau ticked right now. He can't believe that hoop counted. Tied at 98 with 27.9 left. #Bulls

by Christopher Sosa via twitter 11/1/2014 2:27:07 AM
Oh boy. I'd ask you to guess who's gonna take this last shot for Cleveland, but that would be silly. 3.9 left. Still tied. #Bulls

by Christopher Sosa via twitter 11/1/2014 2:30:12 AM
O. Ver. Time. Shoulda known. #Bulls

WTF stat of the game: Dunleavy has 7 assists. #Bulls

by Christopher Sosa via twitter 11/1/2014 2:33:06 AM
Sigh. LeBron will not be denied. #Bulls

Airball by Irving, and Taj "accidentally" stumbled over him on his way by. #Bulls

Hmm, the #Bulls are supposed to have the better frontcourt than the Cavs, but rebounding is killing them in the fourth quarter and OT.

by Christopher Sosa via twitter 11/1/2014 2:47:00 AM
Great game, but #Bulls lose. Somebody get D-Rose some ice for his ankle. Postgame video forthcoming.

Rose: "Don't worry about me. It's an ankle sprain." Xrays negative. #Bulls

by Christopher Sosa via twitter 11/1/2014 3:14:06 AM
Gibson: "we just got humbled tonight." #Bulls
