Though the Bulls came very close to knotting the series, the Miami Heat pulled it together in the fourth quarter and in overtime, helping them grab the win and a 3-1 series lead.  While the Bulls did a great job shutting down Dwyane Wade for much of the game, D. Wade took over in OT and carried Miami to the win and a full command of the series as it shifts back to Chicago.  But while Wade was there in the end, it was LeBron James who once again was the star, as the former two-time MVP poured in 35 points, swatted three shots and ripped two steals.  LeBron also has had a highlight-reel block on Derrick Rose in the first half.

Though Derrick Rose had a couple of highlights himself, including a ridiculous dunk, the current MVP really struggled to shoot from the outside and ultimately couldn’t get his teammates going.  Rose ended up with six assists and seven assists while shooting eight for 26 from the floor.  The rest of the team put together a strong game as Joakim Noah put up 14 big boards and six assists while Carlos Boozer and Luol Deng both scored 20 points.   But eventually the Bulls will have to find a way to get Rose going offensively outside of highlight-reel dunks, which just hasn’t happened so far this series.  Rose will have another chance to rally around his home crowd tonight as the Bulls look to get back in the series.
