There was a special visitor for the Bulls' season opener: President Barack Obama, a former Chicago resident and acknowledged Bulls fan.
"You can tell he's going to be in the building by all the suits running around," Cavs forward Kevin Love told the Cleveland Plain-Dealer in the morning.
Obama's presence caused traffic jams and longer lines at the gates, because fans had to pass through metal detectors.
This was Obama's second time watching the Bulls in person since he became president. He attended a game in Washington on Feb. 27, 2009, and saw the Bulls get clobbered by the Wizards 113-90.
