Game 3, which will shift the series from Miami to Chicago, is scheduled for 8 p.m. on Friday, May 10. ESPN will televise the game. Game 4 will be played on Monday, May 13 at 7 p.m., with TNT picking up the coverage once again.

The Heat begin the series as heavy favorites to not only knock off the Bulls, but to win the NBA title outright. LeBron James is playing the best basketball of his career, while Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh continue to be incredibly efficient on both ends of the floor. It's tough to imagine Chicago hanging around for too long in this series, especially with a fatigued roster that just needed seven hard-fought games to win the conference quarterfinals.
