LeBron James' shooting percentage is down. Shane Battier and Ray Allen have struggled to get anything going from 3-point range. The Eastern Conference semifinals have been far from perfect for the Miami Heat. And the reigning NBA champions are now in absolute control of this series nonetheless. B...

Miami's superstar shot down the accusations from the Chicago Bulls, saying they reminded him of the days when some claimed he was overrated and questioned his ability to lead a team to a championship. "It's kind of the same (as when...

(AP) — It started with the flu, and turned into a hospital stay. There were terrible headaches and weakness. Just walking was a chore. All at the worst time for Luol Deng and the Chicago Bulls. The All-Star forward made an appearance at Chicago's practice facility on Thursday, but it was clear from his drawn appearance and measured tone th...

Mario Chalmers said the Miami Heat thought they were getting too many cheap shots. Tensions and emotions are now nearly as high as the stakes. In other words, this Bulls-Heat series is just getting started. Ray Allen scored 21 points in less than 19 minutes off the bench, LeBron James...

They responded with a technical knockout. After nine technical fouls, two ejections and a whole lot of extracurricular pushing and shoving, the end results were as follows: The biggest postseason win in Heat history, the biggest postseason loss in Chicago Bu...

That would be the Chicago Bulls, and for good measure, they've now done it twice. So by now, it's obvious: If there's a team in the NBA that has Miami's number, it has to be the Bulls. Nate Robinson scored 27 points and dominated in the final minutes — afte...

And the Chicago Bulls reminded the Miami Heat that no one in the NBA plays them any tougher. Yes, the streakbusters struck again. Robinson scored 27 points, Jimmy Butler added 21 points and a career-high-tying 14 rebounds, an...

The first Game 7 in Brooklyn belonged not to the Nets, but to the guy who played here in high school. "I'll remember this for the rest of my life," Noah said. Injured, ill and ju...

The Nets have brought their first-round series against Chicago to a Game 7, a victory away from equaling the largest playoff comeback in NBA history. And they've brought it back home, where Barclays Center has to be more than a beautiful, $1 billion building. They are countin...

Instead, they stumbled. Their first-round series shifts back to Chicago for Game 6 on Thursday, and the Bulls look like a team that could be in trouble even though they lead 3-2. That's because Kirk Hinrich was sidelined by a calf injury. Joakim Noah still seems limited by a foot...

There were long scoreless stretches. Shooting from outside was a dicey proposition. It was ugly for everyone but the Chicago Bulls. This was their type of game. Carlos Boozer had 22 points and 16 rebounds, Luol Deng added 21 points and 10 boards, and the Bulls held off the Brooklyn ...

The big prize is still out there. That's what mattered most to LeBron James and the Miami Heat. The Heat's bid for NBA history ended Wednesday night when their 27-game winning streak was snapped by the Chicago Bulls 101-97, setting off a raucous celebration inside United Center. Miami finished six shy of the 33-game reco...

(AP) — Injured Chicago Bulls superstar Derrick Rose is "not quite" ready to return from his knee injury, coach Tom Thibodeau said Friday. The 2011 NBA MVP continues to practice without restrictions, but his return from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee remains up in the air.

(AP) — Derrick Rose stood chatting with coach Tom Thibodeau for several minutes Wednesday after practice. Then, the Chicago Bulls' superstar worked on his jumper. When he'll suit up in a game remains anyone's guess, and just for the record, Thibodeau insisted they weren't discussing a return against Philadelphia on Thursday. "Nope," he sai...

The championship still is in their hands and good luck trying to pry it away. The Heat won their season-high ninth straight Thursday night with an 86-67 win over the Chicago Bulls behind LeBron James' 26 points, and supplied more evidence that t...

They can take a deep breath. They can hardly breathe easy, though. Until their sidelined superstar point guard is back to tying opponents in knots with that wicked crossover the...

He drew a technical after a no-call with 4:12 left. Then, he got even, leading the Chicago Bulls to a 93-89 victory over the Utah Jazz on Friday night. "It was a good win for us," said Boozer, who played five years with the Jazz. ...

He got the response he was looking for.

Following one missed shot, the ball rolled between forward Carlos Boozer's legs as he fell on his backside, yet he still managed to scoop it up and feed a teammate for two more second-chance points for Chicago. Dominating on the glass and the hardwood, the Bu...
