101-93 Heat over Bulls in a hard fought overtime victory. Massive. Heat now go up a definitive 3-1 in the series, and ladies and gentleman, the light at the end of the Eastern Conference tunnel is now clearly visible.
Bosh enormous in game 3, counterbalancing the average games from the balance of the big 3. Tonight though, it was truly a team effort. Wade struggled offensively all night - and yet, characteristically, when it was most important, Jordan-esque, came up enormous. A soft jumper from the left sideline, followed by a transition break and amazing finish, capped off by a huge block on the defensive end --all in OT.
But it was more than Wade to be sure. Mike Miller had a huge game with 12 points and 9 rebounds. Haslem was cold from the floor, but still grabbed 9 rebounds and influenced the game. Lebron had yet another huge game, leading all scorers with 35 points, and absolutely shut down Rose down the stretch.
Trailing nearly the entire 2nd half, the Heat refused to quit always clearly believing they could win this game, and with Lebron holding the fort down and Wade catching fire late in the game, they tied it up at the end of 4 quarters. Going into OT, all real fans knew the Heat would prevail. Rose and Noah were spent. Rose played the entire 2nd half and OT, while Spo did a masterful job of rotating and resting.
5 minutes later, it was 3-1. That it is definitely a light ...
