Andrew Bynum Dominates Again, Posts 20 Points, 10 Rebounds, Five Blocks in Win Over Bulls [VIDEO]

Is the old Andrew Bynum Back?

Fans of the struggling Cleveland Cavaliers hope so after the center posted season highs of 20 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks in a 97-93 win over the Chicago Bull son Saturday night in his best game yet as a member of the Cavs.

"Tonight everybody saw a little bit of what Andrew is capable of bringing to the table for us," coach Mike Brown told OhioSports.com.

Aside from snapping the Cavs five-game losing streak, the game may also give an indication that Bynum, who has been unable to get back in game shape for the past two years, is healthy enough to make a difference for his team.

Although the victory was over another struggling team in the Bulls who are missing their superstar Derrick Rose for the rest of the season, the Cavs feel that it was the breakthrough game they were waiting for Bynum to have after they signed him to a two-year contract in the off-season.

"He's had that bounce for a while," Brown said. "You could see the bounce coming back and that's exciting. He's very skilled and a big man. You get that bounce back, it can be exciting."

During the game, Bynum was clearly engaged as seen by his aggressiveness on both sides of the court. He even blocked two shots of Joakim Noah in one possession and went to the post multiple times, shooting well inside the paint that was uncharacteristic of his play in the first 12 games where he averaged a mediocre 37 percent field goal shooting.
