Wade, and Heat hold off Bulls on Ring Night.

Miami, FL - While the Heat celebrated their second straight NBA Championship, the members of the Chicago Bulls remained in the lockerroom as they wanted to avoid getting caught in their emotions of watching their rival Miami Heat raise a banner.
Derrick Rose came out a bit rusty committing three silly turnovers and his shot looking a bit flat. While his teammate Joakim Noah looked exactly like he did in game seven of the first round of last years playoffs when he carried the team on his back with a 25 point 16 rebound performance. Tonight he mimicked those numbers with 28 points and 16 rebounds with three blocks.
However, for Miami it was just too much D-Wade as Flash stepped in the spotlight for a struggling Lebron James and Chris Bosh. Wade scored 28 points and grabbed five rebounds in the Heats victory.
Next up for Chicago is the New York Knicks on Halloween Night.
