The Bulls’ offense chugged and sputtered, Zach LaVine had one of his worst games of the season in terms of scoring, and Chicago fell to the Heat 107-104 at the United Center on Saturday night.
The Heat looked like the better team for much of the night, but the Bulls hung around and even led by six points early in the fourth quarter. However, Miami’s zone in the fourth slowly began to unravel Chicago’s offense. The Bulls settled for a bunch of 3-point shots and couldn’t convert (3-of-12 in the fourth and 11-of-39 for the game), while the Heat caught fire on the other end, with Gabe Vincent and Kyle Lowry combining to hit seven 3-pointers in the final frame.
