Chicago Bulls vs Cleveland Cavaliers Final Score & Over/Under Result — Nov 8, 2025

Both teams arrived in Cleveland playing efficient offense over their last stretches, but the Cavaliers' defensive edge proved decisive in a 128–122 victory that stayed just under the 250 combined total. Chicago had scored 119.1 per game over its last eight, while Cleveland averaged 119.9; defensively, however, the hosts held the advantage at 114.8 allowed versus the Bulls' 116.9. That gap narrowed the scoring potential, and the final 250 combined points reflected the tighter defensive approach neither team fully escaped.

The second quarter decided it. After a relatively balanced opening—the combined 61 points in Q1 gave neither side momentum—the two teams erupted for 67 combined in Q2, with Chicago's 43-point quarter temporarily seizing control. Yet Cleveland answered emphatically, combining for 66 in the third and holding Chicago to just 24 in the fourth. Donovan Mitchell led the Cavaliers with 29 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists, while De'Andre Hunter matched that scoring output at 29 points, and Evan Mobley contributed 24 points and 8 rebounds. For Chicago, Isaac Okoro scored 19 points with 4 rebounds and 3 assists; Jalen Smith added 18 points and 11 rebounds; and Tre Jones finished with 17 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists.

DAGGER leaned under 250, and it cashed.
