Game 5: Cavs win 96-94, enjoy the offseason Chicago

You knew the Cavaliers weren't going to allow Chicago to win more than 1 game in this series.  Although it was far too close, the Cavs closed out the Bulls in game 5, winning 94-94.  Essentially, here's what happened: the Bulls played tough and mistakenly thought they had a chance.  Mo Williams started the game off with a 3 pointer. 

With 7.8 seconds left, and the Cavs holding on to a 96-92 lead, LeBron shot a free-throw left-handed.  He was dealing with a sore elbow, and this was not a good sign.  A lot was made of this after the game, but I personally didn't read too much into it.  We were a little concerned, but we knew LeBron wasn't about to miss Game 1 with the Celtics on Sunday. 

Antawn Jamison led the Cavs with 25 points, and LeBron almost notched another playoff triple-double.  His 19 points, 10 rebounds, and 9 assists were just another example of why he deserved to win the MVP.  Cavs close out the Bulls, and send Joakim Noah a message: don't talk smack about Cleveland.  LeBron's elbow was a major concern after the game, but we all knew it really wasn't going to be a big deal.  (more to come on this closeout game later)  LeBron James is Underrated
