The Philadelphia 76ers have drawn level in their series against Chicago Bulls following a comfortable 109-92 victory.
Chicago were without Derrick Rose following the point guard's season-ending knee injury and it was clear that the Bulls missed their star man.
However, the league's top-seeded team started well and Philadelphia trailed by eight points at the halfway stage with Joakim Noah, who ended the match with 21 points, carrying the home side.
Jrue Holiday and Lou Williams came alive for the 76ers in the third quarter as the duo tormented the Bulls in a period they won 36-14.
The Bulls were clearly shocked by an exhilarating third period and failed to find a way back into the game as Holiday finished the game with an impressive 26 points.
Game three of the series will take place in Philadelphia on Friday.
