No team in the Eastern Conference has done fourth-quarter desperation better than the Bulls the last week.
The problem remains the three quarters of frustration that prelude it far too often.
That was again the case Saturday in Miami, as the Bulls spent most of the opening 36 minutes of the game looking up at a seemingly insurmountable 20-point deficit, only to run Jimmy Butler & Co. down before falling short in the 106-101 loss.
Not a great night to follow that blueprint yet again, as the deficit for the last play-in spot held by the Wizards is now 1 ½ games.
