The Bulls entered the game with numerous players on the injury list, most notably point guard Derrick Rose, who has still yet to return from a torn ACL he suffered in the playoffs last year.

Chicago dealt the Heat their first loss of the 2013 playoffs in surprising fashion with Nate Robinson pacing the Bulls with 27 points.

Game two is Wednesday night in Miami.
