It would be a long shot to say if this was a preview of the 2015 "Fight for Larry" dba NBA Finals. This would probably be the 5th or 6th most likely match up if it did go down. Meanwhile a well-rested Mavs team in two extra frames outlasts a Bulls team 132-129 in high-scoring affair on the west side of the 'Go!
Bulls led 26-25 after one and after that didn't get even with he Mavs until the 4th. The Bulls rode Rose, Jimmy Butler, and Pau Pau Pau down the stretch with Pau hitting two free throws to make it 108-105 Bulls and this is where the West Side Story Report" makes a ," Right turn Clyde"!
With 4.2 seconds remaining the Bulls up three with a foul to give Captain Kirk Hinrich fouls Monta Ellis in the front court instead of the back court resulting in three foul shots and Monta made all three with Rose missing the potential game-winner in regulation!
The 1st overtime the Mavs went up 121-118 late with the Bulls needing a money ball gets one from D-Rose as Bankers hours were flowing at the madhouse 121-121 heading into the 2nd extras.
In the 2nd extras the Bulls started off with three turnovers and a missed "J" resulting in a 125-121 Mavs lead. Then Pau Pau Pau made three straight baskets for the Bulls with a Dirk Nowitzki "J" somewhere in between making it 127-127.
Bulls were up 129-127 on a Joakim Noah dunk when "Mississippi Lightning" strikes as Monta goes money ball for a Mavs 130-129 lead. Rose missed a "J" and two Chandler Parsons free throws coupled with another D-Rose miss this one from the Arc resulted in a Mavs 132-129 "W" in double-overtime!
The Bulls were led by 29 points and fourteen boards from Pau Gasol. The Mavs were led by Monta Ellis' game-high 38 points (on 35 shots) going vintage Dub City on See Red! Bulls fall to 11-7 while the Mavs move to 14-5.
