This is going to be a test of wills, a battle of top defenses to see who will emerge victorious in this rugged Eastern Conference Finals. Chicago won the first game with a smothering defense that shut down Lebron James and Dwayne Wade.
In Game 2 Udonis Haslem played critical minutes in ballhawking, rebounding, and scoring 11 points for the Heat as they shut down Derrick Rose and won 85-75. Imagine, the winning team scoring 85 points. This is as good as it gets for lovers of great team defense. They say "Defense wins Championships" and this seems to be the case in who will represent the East for the NBA title. I think Chicago will win in 6 games, and that means that these next two games in Miami are crucial.
Just as the Heat won a game on the road so the Bulls need to get a win in Miami. They are good enough to do it.
The Bulls coaches are working overtime on this break between games. Both teams will be prepared. It is which team will execute the game plan that will win Game 3. This game will be played at a ferocious pitch. If you like intensity, then watch this game. Sparks will be flyin'. Any team that Pat Riley is involved with, you know will come out with 100% effort.
Can the Bulls match that and give more. If they can, then it will be a closely contested game. That's what you need on the road.
