The 2013 NBA Playoff will see the third game between the Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat. If you can't watch or listen to the game, check out this live blog with everything that takes place on the United Center court as one team will take a 2-1 lead in this series. Tip off is a little after 7 p.m. ET. Don't miss a moment of the action.
The Bulls will be shorthanded once again. No surprise there. There will be no Derrick Rose as many hoped to see a Game 3 start from the injured point guard. Things get worse however as some analysts think that Luol Deng is too weak to return and Kirk Hinrich's calf is not just bruised, but torn.
The Bulls were able to close out the Brooklyn Nets with the squad they have now and they were able to win Game 1, but Game 2 was a different story. LeBron James didn't even go all out in the second half scoring all of his 19 points in the opening 24 minutes of the action. He became a passing machine and landed on ESPN's Top 10 Plays of the Day on Wednesday.
Now, the Heat go into enemy territory as they face the Bulls on their floor where the fans will surely not hesitate to boo and instead of Joakim Noah getting flipped by a fan, James or Dwyane Wade might be the ones to receive that treatment. Speaking of Wade, he loves playing in Chicago in the playoffs average almost 22 points in eight postseason games at the United Center.
It's the Bulls vs. Heat for Game 3 of their second round matchup. The Heat are ready to play physical ball while the Bulls are never afraid to make some contact against their opponents.
