A dominant start-to-finish performance from the Miami Heat led to its 118-92 win over the shorthanded Chicago Bulls on Saturday evening at FTX Arena in Miami, Fla.
The Heat never trailed and dished out a season-high 37 assists (on 46 made field goals) — the fourth-most in a regular season game in franchise history and the most since it had 38 on Nov. 3, 2019 in a 129-100 win over the Houston Rockets.
Their marvelous playmaking was spearheaded by guard Kyle Lowry, the Heat’s quintessential “QB1”. He had 16 points on 6-of-10 shooting, but dished out 14 assists — 12 in the first half — to just two turnovers with two steals.
