Bulls squeeze out 109-108 win against Cavs

CHICAGO - LeBron James watched from the sidelines, nursing some bumps and bruises, and Antawn Jamison might be joining him there.

For a team with championship aspirations, the Cleveland Cavaliers are looking a little vulnerable.

Derrick Rose scored 24 points, Kirk Hinrich had 23 and the Chicago Bulls gave their playoff hopes a big boost by surviving some shaky free-throw shooting down the stretch to beat the Cavaliers 109-108 with James on the sideline Thursday night.
