Allen’s Three Sinks Bulls in Game Two

The Bulls were on the verge of leaving Boston with a 2-0 lead in their first-round series until Ray Allen hit a three-pointer with two seconds to go in last night’s game.  The Celtics survived a tight game 118-115 after the Bulls were unable to hit a desperation heave to send it to overtime.  Allen was the difference maker in the second half, as he scored 28 of his 30 points after halftime.  Rajon Rondo kept the Celtics in the game early on and finished with a triple double of 19 points, 12 rebounds and 16 assists.  He also added five steals and turned the ball over only twice.

While Derrick Rose did not look to score the way he did in game one, Ben Gordon picked up the slack with a serious scoring effort of his own.  The former Husky dropped 42 points on the Celtics, hitting big shots late in the game to keep the Bulls in contention.  Gordon shot the ball very well in the contest, hitting 14 of 24 from the field, six of 11 from three and eight of nine from the line.  Despite the tough loss, the Bulls will head home to the United Center with a 1-1 split.  Game three will be played on Thursday at 8 p.m. Eastern.
