The MIAMI HEAT have a commanding 3-1 Lead......The BULLS had this one.......KING JAMES ....NBA MVP last 2 seasons....35pts, 6 rebs, and 6 assts

The BULLS knew they needed a BIG EFFORT from their top 4 players in NBA MVP ROSE and NOAH, BOOZER, and DENG. They all put up season type numbers except ROSE. But if you would have told the BLUEDUDE the GAME will come down to a last shot with DROSE 1 with the ROCK........I would have said GAMETIME.......2-2 back ti CHI CITY.

Instead the HEAT counter with a monumental effort from the NBA MVP from the LASt 2 seasons in LeBron JAMES. JAMES played well over 49 minutes and all of the 4th quarter and OT. Put all those facts together and he guarded Derrick ROSE man up no help from the 4th quarter on and pretty much shut him down.

It was a roller coaster of a game with the BULLS getting out to a 19-8 lead in the 1st an then the HEEAT taking a 37-28 lead midway through the 2nd frame. The BULLS then closed the 2nd with a run of their own to have a 46-44 advantage at the HALF.

The 3rd was back an forth an the BULLS Offensively found a rhythm and took a 68-63 Lead at the end of 3. The HEAT then put the clamps on the BULLS......or was it the BULLS LOOKING REAL TIGHT IN THE 4th again. The BULLS went almost 5 minutes with out a point and the HEAT did most of that damage with WADE and BOSH........sprinkled with a little bit of Mike MILLER...WHO? Yeah that MIKE MILLER from FLORIDA GATORS with unlimited range an injuries have just decimated him late in his career.

But the BULLS made a huge stop with 8 seconds to go when Bulls G Ronnie BREWER got a CHARGE call on KING JAMES. But before that play the BULLS ran an ISO with ROSE with KING JAMES GUARDING him.....BULLS...pick another FIGHT.......but COACH THIBS called the ISO to ROSE again to end the GAME.......DITTO........EXTRA FRAMES.

The BLUEDUDE would have had CJ WATSON get it and him and DENG run a SLIP{ SCREEN with DENG for the SHOT and if DENG couldn't SLIP WATSON could've taken WADE or who else was guarding him off the DRIBBLE........just staying away from whoever KIN JAMES was Guarding we use that player as a DECOY.

NBA Playoff BASKETBALL 101 the OVERTIME Edition........the HOME TEAM percentage wise has a heck of a better chance to WIN the GAME than the ROAD TEAM....and that's what happened......BULLS STARTERS logged too many minutes and had nothing left in OT.

KEY STATS

BULLS now go back HOME facing a 3-1 Deficit.........CAN the HEAT CLOSE THEM?.........If they don't close them......the HEAT are playing with FOOL'S GOLD....every game now for the BULLS is an ELIMINATION GAME........we will see THURSDAY NIGHT on the WEST SIDE of Chi CITY...GAME 5
