NBA 2011 Playoffs Miami Heat vs Chicago Bulls Game 2 Recap May 18, 2011

GAME 1 MIA 83 CHI 103
GAME 2 MIA 85 CHI 75

LeBron James scored 29 points and Dwyane Wade had 24 to lead the Miami Heat to an 85-75 victory Wednesday over the Chicago Bulls at the United Center, tying the Eastern Conference finals at 1-1. The Bulls shot horribly from the field (34.1 percent) and from the line (61.5 percent). Derrick Rose scored 21 points but made only seven of 23 shots.

The Heat got a huge bench effort from Udonis Haslem, who had 13 points and five rebounds. The Bulls, meanwhile, had only one player other than Rose in double figures, and Luol Deng only had two of his 13 points in the second half. The Bulls bench, which contributed 33 points in Game 1, had only 20 points in Game 2.

The Heat took 14 less shots and two less free throws than the Bulls in the game. The Bulls had eight offensive rebounds in the game's first 5 1/2 minutes but scored only five points off those second chances.

The game was stopped for several minutes with 4:36 remaining when both Wade of the Heat and Omer Asik of the Bulls had severe cuts. Wade was bleeding from the elbow and Asik was bleeding from the neck.

Former Bulls forward Dennis Rodman was at the United Center to present the game ball. Before the game, he spoke to reporters about the current Bulls. "I love their team; I love Joakim Noah,'' Rodman said. "He runs around with his head cut off sometimes, but I love it. He's more like me but taller. Tom (Thibodeau, Bulls coach) has put a great team together because he's very defensive-oriented and he's got these players believing you have to play defense first."

I bet Tracy McGrady feels like shit saying Lebron and Wade cant play together. Lebron and Wade have totally different game styles. Lebron can do a little bit of everything while Wade can Score and Rebound and Defend. Lebron is a power player and Wade is acrobatic. The miami heat is the Justice League! Lebron is superman, Wade is Flash, and bosh is Batman

j4kills, exact reason why I set out to watch bball. coupled with the many dunks. If you cannot dunk yet, you definitely need to focus on training. I highly advise that you think about the one I'm using - "50-inch-vertical[dot]com" - Im 5'9 plus I am able to dunk!
