Before game six, everybody was looking back to the amazing four overtimes so far and was asking himself how this game could possibly top the excitement and level of play already seen. But once again the Bulls and Celtics took it to the next level in a triple overtime game which culminated in a 128-127 home win for the Chicago Bulls, tying the series 3-3. The Boston Celtics will now host the Bulls for the deciding game seven on Saturday at 1 a.m. GMT at Boston Garden.

In a first round series which may very well be one of the best opening playoff series in NBA history, the Bulls came back after a tough loss earlier this week and showed a lot of dedication in game six. Brad Miller who missed two free throws which could have tied game five in Boston, stepped up in overtime giving the Bulls a huge lift with a number of clutch shots, finishing the game with 23 points and 10 rebounds. After fouling out in game five, Ray Allen set a new personal playoff record with 51 points including nine made shots beyond the arc.

Despite Glen Davis, Paul Pierce and Kendrick Perkins already having fouled out, the Celtics had a potential game winning possession with ten seconds remaining on the clock in the third overtime. Star guard Rajon Rondo decided to take a mid-range jumpshot that ended up being blocked by the rookie of the year Derrick Rose, forcing game seven in Boston. Rose showed another terrific performance, scoring 28 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds while only turning the ball over twice.

Taking into consideration how close this series has been so far, it is hard to tell who might take game seven on Saturday. Although, the defending champions Boston have home court advantage it did not seem to scare the Bulls so far. If Boston advances they will need huge performances from their key guys Rondo, Pierce and Allen. Chicago’s scoring on the other hand is distributed more evenly, partially due to their significant bench production of Miller and Hinrich.
