Heat Vs. Bulls, Game 4: Miami Pulls Away To Win In Overtime, 101-93

With time winding down in the fourth and the ball in Derrick Rose’s hands, the Miami Heat turned to LeBron James on the defensive end. In a grind-it-out, ugly game, both teams had to turn to defense and it began with James setting the tone. Sandwiched between fleeting moments featuring highlight reel players were stretches with little in the way of offense, including most of the first quarter.

Rose acknowledged the effort of James and admitted he made life difficult throughout Game 4. The athleticism of James, and his ability to stay with Rose and contest his shots, made those isolation plays the league MVP loves that much harder to execute.

Chris Bosh dominated Game 3 between the Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls, and on the heels of his 34 points to take down Derrick Rose and Co., he’s taking aim at his critics.

After Carlos Boozer went out of his way to say to the Heat have “two great players”, a lot of folks wondered if that’s what’s motivated Bosh in this series. So far, he’s scored more than any other player on the Heat or Bulls, and for the first time all year, he’s looked like a legitimate peer to LeBron James and Dwyane. So was it Boozer?
