NBA Finals: Today's Games ***SPOILERS***
The Chicago Bulls rode a 36 point and 11 sssist performance from rookie Rose to defeat the Celtics in game 1 in OT, 105-103. In what was his first ever playoff game, Rose equalled Abdul-Jabbar's playoff record for the most number of points in your first playoff appearance. No Chicago player since Jordan has scored 36 points or more in a playoff game. Amazing effort to get things underway!
The Cav's also easily accounted for the Pistons as expected, winning 102-84. The Cav' won behind a 38 point (13/20 shooting), 8 rebound and 7 assist, 1 steal game from LeBron (and no TO's!). The Cav's had 5 players score in double-digits, including Smith from the bench. Wallace played 14 minutes for the Cav's who are hoping he will quickly get close to 100%.
Currently the Spurs are leading the Mav's 29-18 at the first break. The Spurs are curently riding some hot shooting from Finley and the star play of Duncan and Parker.
