The Miami Heat have put the pressure on the Chicago Bulls after taking a 3-1 series lead in the 101-93 victory in overtime last night. The Heat turned it on late as they were able to take their first lead in the final minutes of the 3rd quarter. The Heat would not regain the lead until overtime when they scored 16 points and put the Bulls back in their stalls:
The Chicago Bulls did what most people expected them to do last night, take care of the Miami Heat in Game 1. Luol Deng came up huge for the Bulls, scoring 21 points and most importantly held LeBron James in check with 15 points. The Heat stayed close until midway through the 3rd quarter. The Bulls reeled off 10 straight points and would never look back defeating the Heat 103-82:
The Oklahoma City Thunder and Memphis Grizzlies battled through 3 overtimes to decide the winner of a pivotal game 4. Russel Westbrook lead the way scoring 40 points for the Thunder but it was Kevin Durant who took over when the Thunder needed him the most. Durant scored 6 of his 35 points in the final overtime to put away the Grizzlies in the 133-123 victory:
Dwayne Wade tried his best to take Rajon Rondo out of the game 3 in the 3rd quarter with an “excuse me” take down. If you did not see it when they replayed it 8 times, Rondo ended up dislocating his elbow on the play. With his arm hanging off and making the best of the 1 good arm he had, Rondo returned to the lineup to score a few baskets and make sure the Celtics buried the Miami Heat. Kevin Garnett lead the way for Boston playing a huge role offensively with 28 points and 18 rebounds in the 97-81 home victory:
Sure you may never hear about Gary Neal again but he hit the biggest shot of his career last night for the San Antonio Spurs. Down 3 with 1.7 seconds remaining in regulation, Neal drained a 3 point prayer, kinda ironic Neal hitting a prayer (if you don’t get it you don’t get). The Spurs would then go onto dominate the overtime and force a game 6:
