Chicago and Boston are headed to a game 7 after the Bulls beat the Celtics 128-127 in a dramatic triple overtime game.

This series is a lot of fun for the fans, the people of Chicago, the people of Boston,” said the Bulls’ Joakim Noah. “It’s a lot of fun for us, too, playing in environments like this on the big stage. It’s special to be part of this, and I know that it’s a series people will be talking about for a long time.”

John Salmons led the Bulls with 35 points while Derrick Rose added another 28; Joakim Noah finished with 15 rebounds.

Ray Allen played his heart out in a losing effort, scoring his career playoff high with 51 points.

“It’s very bittersweet,” Allen said. “There’s nothing to really talk about anymore. We lost and we had the agony that it wasn’t enough.”

Game 7 will take place on Saturday night in Boston.
