The Bulls crumbled in the homestretch again.
Much like what happened to the West Finals, the Miami Heat stunned the Chicago Bulls with an 18-3 run in the final minutes to win 83-80 and they will battle the Dallas Mavericks in a rematch of the 2006 NBA Finals.
LeBron James and Dwayne Wade joined forces to catapult the Heat to this comeback. Wade scored a rare four point play and James buried two three pointers to snatch the game as the Chicago fans watched in great disbelief.
James also provided tough defense on the reigning MVP Derrick rose who shot just 9-29 from the field to score 25 points and dished out 8 assists. He didn't get any able support with only Luol Deng making an impact with 17 points while Carlos Boozer was a non factor with just 5 points in 1-6 shooting.
Miami did beat Dallas in th 06 Finals but only two hold overs from each team remains today, Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Terry for the Mavs and Dwayne Wade and Udonis Haslem for the Heat so we can expect a different series. The Mavs gained the 2-0 series lead before the Heat won four straight win the series back then.
