The Cleveland Cavaliers have levelled their Eastern Conference semi-final playoff series against the Chicago Bulls with a comfortable 106-91 victory at the Quicken Loans Arena.
LeBron James got the home side off to an attacking start, scoring 14 points in the opening period to guide the Cavaliers to a 20-point lead by the end of the first quarter.
Cleveland continued to build their advantage at the start of the second half, leading by 25 points before the Bulls started to fight back.
Derrick Rose and Pau Gasol tried to get the visitors back into the game, cutting the lead to 11 points midway through the third quarter, but James and James Jones made sure that Cleveland did not let the gap close further.
Kyrie Irving ensured that any hopes of a Chicago comeback in the fourth were dashed early on, as he added a run of shots at the start of the final 12 minutes, sealing a comfortable win for the home side.
Game three will take place in Chicago on Friday.
