Dwyane Wade stared down former teammate Tyler Johnson on the left wing on a crucial fourth-quarter possession Saturday night and it seemed like everyone in the United Center performed their own version of the “Mannequin Challenge”.
The crowd stopped and so did the Bulls bench in anticipation of a signature Wade move. Unfortunately so did everyone else on the floor as the movement stopped, if it ever started.
Wade jabbed and put the ball in Johnson’s face on a swing through, causing an offensive foul, leaving Wade puzzled at the officiating.
And even though it didn’t come back to hurt the Bulls in their 105-100 win over the Miami Heat, the play — and the quarter itself — highlighted a problem for the Bulls that’s seemingly bubbling beneath the surface, as they shot just 40 percent in the fourth and were outscored 25-22.
