The Bulls fought. And fought. And fought some more. The stage was set for them to steal a quality win against a way-better-than-expected Miami Heat team. It would have been the Bulls first real quality win of the season and a very rare victory over an over-.500 team for Jim Boylen’s tenure.
But the Bulls opponent executed better than they did down the stretch and Chicago dropped a winnable game. It’s been a recurring storyline this season and a big reason why they only have eight wins in 24 tries.
Tyler Herro (one of the best 3-point shooters on the Miami Heat) scored 11 of his game-high 27 points in overtime, nine of those 11 points coming on wide open 3-point attempts.
