Rose's buzzer-beater sinks Cavs in Chicago

Derrick Rose banked a 3-pointer in at the buzzer and scored 30 points Friday night to lead the Chicago Bulls to a 99-96 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers and a 2-1 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Cleveland had tied it with a 3-pointer by J.R. Smith with 10.8 seconds left when Rose came through with the winner off a sideline inbounds play.

LeBron James, who scored 27 for Cleveland despite shooting 8-of-25, said there was nothing Tristan Thompson could do about that shot.
