The Chicago Bulls dropped Games 3 and 4 in disappointing fashion. Here is a look at five keys to victory for the pivotal Game 5.

The one lesson the Chicago Bulls have learned during these playoffs is that momentum is a very fragile thing. After the first two games of the series, the Bulls had a 2-0 lead, with a chance to close out the top-seeded Boston Celtics at the United Center.

While no one expected a sweep, would it have been asking too much for the Bulls to win at least one of their home games?

As has been the case all season, the Bulls didn’t make life easy for themselves, dropping a pair of games in front of their home crowd, sending the series back to Boston tied at two games apiece.

Although their recent defeats were disappointing, all hope is not lost as of yet. And if the recent trend of the road team winning on their opponent’s home floor continues, the Bulls should be in pretty decent shape, right?

But rather than relying on that logic, here is a look at what the Bulls need to do in order to regain control of this back-and-forth series.
