There isn’t much else to say about this game but simply amazing. The Bulls ended up pulling this out in triple overtime 128-127. Ray Allen’s 51 points and 9 three-pointers were wasted by a more balanced Chicago Bulls attack (5 players in double figures). The real difference came in triple overtime when the Celtics already without Kevin Garnett had 3 starters fouled out of the game (Paul Pierce, Glen Davis, and Kendrick Perkins). The final decisive play came at 128-127 and Rajon Rondo penetrated and then faded away and was rejected by the impressive rookie Derrick Rose. Rose then gained control of the ball and was fouled by Brian Scalabrine in the front court. Rose proceeded to clank two free throws with 3.2 seconds remaining but the Celtics were without a timeout and Rondo heaved a half-courter that was way off: on to Game 7.

But wait, there is the issue of Rajon Rondo elbowing Kirk Hinrich into the scorers table in the 1st half. This makes two consecutive games with extremely hard fouls. Does this warrant a 1-game suspension? Can you imagine the implications of a Rondo suspension. I have one word for you: Starbury. That’s right, Stephon Marbury would be the starting point guard in game 7 of the NBA playoffs. This is a far-cry from not being even welcome on the bench of the New York Knicks earlier this season. If this happens, you can guarantee that Derrick Rose will be licking his lips against the defensively challenged Marbury and Eddie House.

Regardless, Game 7 should be exciting as every game in this series has been thus far.
