The Bulls were on the second night of a back-to-back, apparently not getting into Miami from last night’s game in Brooklyn until after 4AM. Maybe that kept them from the nightlife, plus their tank commander Zach LaVine was out with some lower body thing, as the Bulls not only got an improbable win but an emphatic one in a 105-89 blowout of the Heat.
I kid about LaVine, kind of, but it is noticeable how much better the Bulls are defensively with him out of the lineup. They held the Heat to 38% shooting overall from the field, as Miami had nearly half of their attempts come from three but they only made 12 of their 42 attempts.
