MANILA, Philippines — Who needs Derrick Rose anyway?

Nate Robinson exploded for 27 points as the Chicago Bulls stunned the Miami Heat, 93-86, in Game 1 of their NBA Eastern Conference semifinals series May 6, Monday (May 7, Tuesday in Manila) at the American Airlines Center in Florida.

Robinson added nine assists while Jimmy Butler posted 21 markers and 14 boards for the Bulls, who exposed the Heat’s rustiness after a week-long layoff and held them to a paltry 39.7% shooting.

LeBron James started slow but had 15 points in the fourth quarter to finish with 24 points, eight rebounds and seven assists but Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh could only combine for 23 points on 10-of-26 shooting.

Miami has lost only thrice in its last 44 games, with Chicago inflicting two of those three defeats. – Rappler.com
