Dwyane Wade practiced on Monday and expected to play; Alonzo Mourning was listed as a game-time decision.

After nearly upsetting the Miami Heat in the series opener, the Bulls took another shot at a victory in Game Two of their Eastern Conference playoff series on Monday.

In game One, Shaquille O'Neal made 11-of-16 shots, scored 27 points, grabbed 16 rebounds and blocked five shots Saturday to give Miami a 111-106 triumph over the Bulls. The 7-1 center has won all 25 playoff series after taking the opening game. Dwyane Wade scored 14 of his 30 points in the fourth quarter, had 11 assists and made 14-of-16 free throws for the Heat. However, he was plagued by leg cramps and hobbled off the court late in the contest.

But the problem will continue to be Dwayne Wade and his cramp leg.

There's no disguising the pain. "I hope it's just a cramp," Wade said. "My muscle is still pretty tight."

Wasn’t this the same situation we had when the Heat went spinning out of the playoffs last year when Wade was diminished by a tender hip just enough to give Detroit room to squirm to a Game 7 triumph and earn the Eastern Conference championship? "I kind of knew when it happened that I didn't have a lot left," Wade said.

But how much can the Heat expect from him? A series of massage sessions, with more scheduled, and the intake of enough liquid to float one of team owner Micky Arison's cruise ships hadn't been enough to make much of a difference in how Wade felt a full 15 hours after he suffered the injury.

"Jumping will hurt me a little bit," Wade said. That would be his — and the Heat's — money leg.

What comes next for Wade is a full dose of the punishment Chicago doles out to him as standard practice.

"It isn't just Dwyane," said Heat coach Pat Riley. "It's (the Bulls') system. They do it to (Cleveland's) LeBron (James) and to (New Jersey's) Vince (Carter) and all the great guards. If you drive, they're going to come and help. They're not going to stop. They're not going to go away."

Wade, meanwhile, insists he won't change his aggressive approach — he was hounded and pounded often enough in Game 1 to attempt 16 of Miami's 39 free throws — and promises to again challenge the Bulls as much as possible.

"I'm always going to attack," said Wade, who craves and demands the ball on any late-game tightrope.

And now Wade's hoping adrenaline and pain medication will get him through the series.
