In this see-saw series anything is possible in Game Seven on Saturday night.Only eight NBA teams have come back from a 3-1 deficit to win a best-of-7 series. And the Bulls cannot possibly be more incapacitated on Saturday than they were in Chicago. The winner will earn the unenviable right to play the Miami Heat.The sixth-seeded Golden State Warriors held off a late rally by the third-seeded Denver Nuggets to advance to the second round of the western conference playoffs. The Warriors will now face the San Antonio Spurs in the second round.
