LeBron James and his pals were simply too much for the Boston Celtics on Thursday night.

Derrick Rose scored 34 points, Jimmy Butler had 24 and the Chicago Bulls took a commanding 3-0 lead in their first-round Eastern Conference playoff series against the Milwaukee Bucks with a 113-106 double-overtime victory on Thursday night at the Bradley Center.

Guard Stephen Curry hit a miracle 3-pointer from the left corner over Anthony Davis to force overtime, and the Golden State Warriors erased a 20-point, fourth-quarter deficit behind Curry's game-high 40 points for an improbable 123-119 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday night at the Smoothie King Center.
