In a tight battle of superstars, Bulls guard Derrick Rose hit a big shot over counterpart Cavaliers forward LeBron James


With the Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers trading the lead back and forth with each other, it’s been up to each team’s superstar to make big plays.

While LeBron has been struggling with his shot all night, he still has been hitting some big shots to keep Cleveland right there with the Bulls.

His counterpart, Derrick Rose, has been equally hitting big shots as the Bulls try to pull away from Cleveland.

His latest big shot came right over the Cavaliers superstar.

After LeBron made a big dunk to pull the Cavaliers within one, Rose drove right down the court and hit a step back shot right over James to answer the call.

All postseason, Rose has been hitting big shot after big shot to give the Bulls momentum and propel them forward. In a tight series against Cleveland, they’re going to need Rose to keep hitting big shots.

If he can keep hitting ones like the step back he made over James, they will end up on highlight reels and the Bulls will have the advantage.

When a superstar has put down the challenge in this series, the other has answered it right back.
