LeBron James made up for his anemic showing in the series opener as he provided the necessary power to lift the Miami Heat to an emphatic 85-75 thrashing of the Chicago Bulls to even up the Eastern Conference finals series at one-game apiece. James, who scored a measly 15 points in game one, erupted for 29 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists and scored the go-ahead 3-point basket after the Bulls came roaring back from an 11-point deficit to tie the game at 73-all. So tight was the defense of the Heat as the Bulls were limited to only two points in the last 7:16 of the game. Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra made the necessary defensive adjustment as Miami out-rebounded Chicago, 45-41 in game two. James says winning a game in Chicago in the first two games is vital as the series now shifts to South Beach for games three and four, according to the Associated Press.
“The series has just started. It’s 1-1. We’re excited that we were able to come here and get a win. But it’s just started.”
