The Chicago Bulls rebounded from a surprise series-opening defeat to Atlanta with an 86-73 win over the Hawks, levelling their second-round NBA basketball playoff series 1-1.
After receiving the league's MVP trophy in front of his home crowd, Chicago point guard Derek Rose recorded 25 points and 10 assists and seemed to be moving well enough on a twisted left ankle sustained in the previous game.
Meanwhile Dallas left the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers on the ropes with a 93-81 road victory that gives the Mavericks a 2-0 series lead.
