The Chicago Bulls eliminated the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday night with a 93-73 victory in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semi-finals. Having beat the Hawks 4-2, the Bulls will now advance to the Eastern Conference Finals, where they will face the Miami Heat.
Bulls star point guard and this year's MVP, Derrick Rose, said before the game that it was the biggest game of the team's lives.
"This is the biggest game of our life right here," said Rose. "That's the way we have to go into it, where this is our championship game. It's important to us. We're going to try our hardest just to go out here and just try to seal the deal."
Rose said that Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau gave that message to his team before the game to get them into a winning mentality.
"[Thibodeau] told us that, but it's the truth," said Rose. "It's absolutely the truth, where we can't look ahead. We have a chance to do it tonight, to win on the road. This is definitely a huge game. But we got to act like it is."
After the victory, Rose was asked how he feels about the Bulls' upcoming series against the Heat. He said, "It's gunna be fun... It's gunna be a battle."
