Chicago are ahead of Miami in the Eastern Conference First Round 1-0 with a 114-108 win over Miami that turned some heads. Said one broadcaster, "I didn't know Chicago were that good, quite frankly. They really haven't done much all season, but the way they came in and handled Miami showed what they're capable of."

The thoughts were echoed by Miami coach Bob. "We had pretty thorough film sessions coming into the game, and we never saw them execute that well. [Chicago coach] Bob did a great job getting them ready, and we'll have to see if this was a one-time performance or if they can maintain that level of play."

Chicago was led by Wilson (13 points, a steal), Sigler (23 points, 1 assists, a steal, 2 blocks), Joyner (23 points, 7 boards, 3 assists). Miami was led by Perry (24 points, 13 boards, 1 assists), Torres (6 points, 6 boards, 11 assists, 4 steals), James (18 points, a steal, 2 blocks).
