Chicago stunned the Heat in more ways than one in tonight’s Eastern Conference Finals series opener.

First, they played supreme defense and dominated the glass to pull away to a 103-82 win in the United Center.

But another added treat was this two-hand facial delievered by Taj Gibson. The victim? An unsuspecting Dwyane Wade.

The 6’11″ Gibson, who can hardly be considered a high-flyer, also followed up a Derrick Rose miss with a one-handed tomahawk  that brought everyone in the stadium to their feet.

There’ll be lots more to come on this game (and series).  But if nothing else, Game 1 proved that this will be a series.
