The Miami Heat Look To Close Out the Chicago Bulls
The Miami Heat Look To Close Out the Chicago BullsThe Dallas Mavericks advanced to the NBA Finals and are just awaiting their opponent. The Miami Heat are one win away from being that team.


The Heat lead the Chicago Bulls 3-1 in the Eastern Conference finals and a win Thursday at the United Center means they’ll be playing for a championship.

That’s exactly the way James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh envisioned it when they decided to join together in the offseason. Miami is on the verge of its first trip to the finals since 2006 after beating Chicago 101-93 in overtime on Tuesday.

James led the way with 35 points and helped contain Rose down the stretch. Bosh chipped in with 22, Wade came up with three big blocks in overtime and the bench again delivered as the Heat took a commanding lead.

Now, they’ll try to close this one out. The Bulls dropped consecutive games only four times during the regular season and never lost more than two in a row. Their first three-game skid could not have come at a worse time.

But he was quick to point out the games have been close. That’s one reason he insisted the Bulls are not out of it.

Many expected the Heat to run away with the Eastern Conference after they hit the free-agent jackpot, reeling in James and Bosh while re-signing Wade. Instead, it was the remade Bulls who jumped to a league-leading 62 wins and the top overall seed, with Rose becoming the youngest MVP and ending James’ two-year reign.

Along the way, they swept three close games from the Heat during the regular season. They even left them in tears after beating them in March, when they were in a five-game losing streak and appeared to be unraveling.

Now it’s Miami that has Chicago’s players and Coach of the Year Tom Thibodeau rubbing their eyes.

Only eight teams have come back to win a best-of-7 series after trailing 3-1, and if the Bulls are going to be the ninth, this can’t continue. The Bulls try to become the ninth team to comeback and they get a big win against the Heat to stretch this series to another game.
