Bulls need to find some ways to stop Bosh and James...and make it a closer game before halftime

Go Bulls!

Korver for 3

Bulls 33 Heat 42

Go Bulls!

From the swirsky twitter:

@swirsk054 chuck swirsky
As poorly as the Bulls have played to be down by only 5 is encouraging to say the least Heat 56-51

Rose 13 pts, 3 ast
Rip 11 pts, 2 reb
Noah 11 pts, 5 reb
Brewer 4 pts, 5 reb
Boozer 4 pts, 5 reb
Korver 6pts
Gibson 4 pts


Bulls 44,2% Heat 46,7%


Go Bulls and play a much better 2nd half.

But not too bad without Deng and Watson. Bulls can learn something...and play better in 2nd half.

Go Bulls!
