The Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls are involved in a close and sometimes sloppy Game 4 of their Eastern Conference Final series, but all anyone is talking about right now is Derrick Rose's incredible posterization of Joel Anthony with two minutes remaining in the second quarter. The Heat were the much better team for the majority of the second quarter, but the Bulls completed a comeback that culminated in that incredible Rose dunk. Thanks to Rose's great play at the end of the quarter along with some solid shooting, the Bulls lead by a score of 46-44 at halftime.
Rose's stats don't look good - he's 4-14 from the floor - but most of those misses came in the first quarter, while a few of those have come on very tough shots where the defense made significant contact with him. The second half of the second quarter saw a great performance from Rose, and he appears to be heating up.
LeBron James was the primary scorer in the first quarter while Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh were invisible, but the script flipped in the second quarter. Wade and Bosh were both very good in the second quarter, with Wade looking unstoppable off the dribble.
The two teams have committed 17 turnovers between them, which suggests that the style of play benefits the Bulls. However, it's the Bulls who have committed more turnovers, and they'll have to clean that up in the second half.
