Today we had a rematch of the Eastern Conference Finals of 2011 as the #1 Chicago Bulls and #2 Miami Heat went head to head in South Beach.  The match-up was a ball out between the two teams and showed why these 2 teams are the top two teams in the Eastern Conference.  Derrick Rose had an awesome game for the Bulls and showed why he was last year's league MVP even though his Bulls fell short to Lebron James and company.  Miami led Chicago through the 4 quarters and escaped with a victory with a close 97-93 being the final score.  Battle of the superstars ended with Rose leading the Bulls with 34 points 6 rebounds and 6 assists while Lebron led the Heat with 35 points 11 rebounds and 5 assist.  Bosh was the 3rd leading scorer in the game with 24 points and Wade ended the game with 15 points in his second game back from being out with a sprain ankle.  The Heat and Bulls will definitely be going head to head throughout the season and giving NBA fans great games to watch and it wouldn't surprise me if we see these two going at it again in the Eastern Conference.
