Bulls End Miami’s Run at 27. Sneak Peek at Easter Elites. »

The Miami Heat’s bid for NBA history ended Wednesday night when their 27-game winning streak was snapped by the Chicago Bulls 101-97. LeBron James almost single-handedly carried them all the way to No. 28, but the battered Bulls just wouldn’t let it happen. LeBron attacked the rim like a tank while absorbing some haymakers from the Chicago defense. Kirk Hinrich straight-up tackled him at one point. LeBron was great again, but for the first time in 51 days, it wasn’t enough. He left the game frustrated as a result of some hard fouls. “First of all, Kirk Hinrich in the first quarter basically grabbed me with two hands and brought me to the ground. The last one, Taj Gibson was able to collar me around my shoulder and bring me to the ground. Those are not defensive… those are not basketball plays.” On another side, sneakerheads probably noticed a new pair of shoes present at the game. LBJ wore the Black suedes for the second time this season, but the Nike LeBron X P.S. Elite Easter spotted in the locker room is probably more interesting at this point.
