Derrick Rose has continued the momentum he generated with his second quarter hot streak and monster dunk, translating that momentum into third quarter success for himself and his team. Luol Deng has been very good offensively too, and they've guided the bulls to a lead. They're ahead of the Miami Heat by a score of 68-63 after three quarters.
Heat Vs. Bulls Score, Game 4: Derrick Rose, Luol Deng Have Chicago Ahead After Three Quarters
Rose now has 17 points on the night and he finally knocked down his first three-point shot of the game at the end of the third quarter, which can’t be a good sign for the Heat. His first step looks blazing fast tonight, even compared to the average night, and Miami’s solid help defense is the only reason Rose’s point total isn’t well into the 20s.
Miami's offense hasn't been the greatest, which seems to be some combination of great defense by the Bulls and mediocre passing and movement by the Heat. LeBron James had a fantastic dunk in transition at the end of the quarter, but he's failed to attack the rim in the half court, which is something that has to change in the fourth quarter.
