| Bulls have work cut out before Game 3 against Heat |
Fri May 20 03:16:00 2011 EST |
CHICAGO (AP) - By the numbers, the Chicago Bulls easily could have been blown out by the Miami Heat in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals. They weren't, though. Even though MVP Derrick Rose struggled, even though they got outshot and outrebounded, and even though LeBron James and Dwyane Wade played more like superstars, the Bulls were in it until the end. So maybe that's one positive they can take from their 85-75 loss on Wednesday - or not. Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau certainly wasn |

| Toronto, Canada (Sports Network) - The Miami Heat walked out of the United Center with an 85-75 victory over the Chicago Bulls in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals to deadlock the series at 1-1 and their confidence level must be sky-high. Miami did everything it didn't do in Game 1. The Heat played excellent defense for four quarters, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James played like the elite players they are and their front court managed to overcome the Bulls big men.

MIAMI (AP) - Stopping Derrick Rose, well, the Miami Heat know that won't happen in these Eastern Conference finals. Slowing him, that's the more realistic goal. And it might be the top Heat priority entering this matchup with the Chicago Bulls, which opens Sunday night. Rose is the league's reigning MVP and averaged 29 points against Miami this season, leading his team to three wins by a combined eight points.

And his primary assignment when he's on the floor for the Miami Heat in this East championship series will be trying to slow down Rose, the Chicago Bulls star, the NBA's reigning MVP - and the player Chalmers made the shot of his life against in the 2008 NCAA title game.
