Led by 22-year old guard Derrick Rose, the Bulls finished the season with a 62–20 record, the best in the league and first-place in the Central Division. They advanced to the Eastern Conference finals where they were eliminated by the Miami Heat team led by LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh in 5 games. Derrick Rose won the NBA Most Valuable Player Award, becoming the youngest NBA player ever to win the award, at the age of 22.https://www.nba.com/history/top-moments/derrick-rose-wins-mvp-2010-11 Top Moments: Rose becomes youngest player ever to win MVP NBA.com October 24, 2018 June 6, 2021 The Bulls won their 8th division title this season and finished with the best record in the NBA, but fell short to the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference finals. It is the first time since 1975 that the Bulls failed to follow up a division title with an NBA title (that year, the Bulls were in the Midwest Division). In the playoffs, the Bulls defeated the Indiana Pacers in five games in the First Round, defeated the Atlanta Hawks in six games in the semifinals, before losing to the Miami Heat in five games in the conference finals. The Heat would eventually lose 4–2 to the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Finals, who won their first championship title. To date, this playoff run is the deepest that the Bulls have advanced in the post-Michael Jordan era, and it is the only season since 1998 where they reached the conference finals.
