After seeing how the first few games in the series turned out, many thought this second round battle between the Hawks and Bulls was going to 7 games. However led by their MVP, Derrick Rose and a big game from Carlos Boozer, the Chicago Bulls were able to close out the series early in 6 games. Boozer was able to shake off some early series struggles as he came through when needed most, putting in 23 points and grabbing 10 rebounds to lead the Bulls to victory.

Notable footwear in last night's game included Derrick Rose continuing to hit the court in the adiZero Rose 1.5, along with his teammates opting for Nike Basketball's latest offerings like the Nike Hyperdunk 2010, and the Air Max Fly By. And although the Hawks were on the losing end, they did hit the court in some impressive footwear.
