Bulls Force Game 7



We are witnessing a monumental event in the history of the game of basketball. The Bulls-Celtics opening round series in the 2009 NBA Playoffs is being called possibly the greatest series in history. After last nights triple-OT Bulls' win, this series has seen four of the six games go to overtime, and all but one game be decided in the final possessions. Last night's key plays:
-Brad Miller erupts for 3-pointer and "roller-skating" drive past Kendrick Perkins
-John Salmons scores 35 pts (11 in OT)...Ray Allen had 51 pts, while Rondo had 19 ast
-Joakim Noah steals ball from Paul Pierce and takes it the length of the floor for the poster-dunk, drawing the And-1 from Paul Pierce (who fouled out on the play)
-Derrick Rose blocks Rondo's attempt in final seconds and steals ball after tip by Hinrich

The Bulls will now return to Boston for the epic showdown, the final countdown, the game to end it all...GAME 7 at the Garden...Bulls.....Celtics....7:00 pm CT....NBA : Where this happens!
