Picking the Bulls to win tonight given the lack of size in Miami that will keep the Bulls safe from their biggest weakness.

Heat have come out with a lot of energy and the Bulls are a bit sloppy to start…

All 12 of the Heat’s points are from Max Struss three-pointers…

Caruso has two of his own in the Bulls first 10th too.

Bulls down 10-12 halfway through the first quarter at the first break.

LaVine with a sloppy attack that led to him getting called for a charge. Defender was probably moving, but he was so sloppy and didn’t know what he was doing so he was never going to get that a call.

Coby White in for Deebo as the first sub of the game.

Lowry right behind him coming in for Hero. PatWil for Caruso too.

Nice ball movement for a Coby three! Started with getting Vooch the ball, nice cross court pass to PatBev and swing up top to Coby.

PatBev called for a block on a clear charge… arghhh

Second Quarter

Was eating during the first half of the quarter so I couldn’t type…

Bad shot attempt by Deebo trying to use the pump fake to ill effect and then Miami came right back and got a Jimmy Buckets and-1 on Coby off the nice feed from Bam from half-court…

But both teams are clamping down a bit more on D — mostly helping the Bulls since they are a bitter better on O and still finding some buckets.

Have cut their deficit to 6 — 30-36.

Lots of missed shots on both sides right now.

Another good defensive set for the Bulls causing an errant pass and their 7th TO.

Good take by Vooch. Bulls need to keep going to him in the post.

Vooch cuts it to 2!

I told PatBev not to shoot that three and he did it (and missed) anyways…

Ughhh Caruso fouled Struss on a three following him after a screen…

And now another Struss 3, for his 17th point…

Bulls 36-42 Heat

And another… Heat back up 6 and they are pumped…

He has 20 of their 42 points…

Third Quarter

PatBev kicking Bam in the head 🤣 🤣 🤣 - reviewed for a flagrant, but ruled a common foul.

Struss missed a three!! It ws probably a bit too deep anyways.

Another Vooch bucket in the post. Keep going at ’em.

Beautiful feed from DeMar to Vooch for another easy one to cut it to four.

Vooch and LaVine are cookin’ in the paint!

Maybe Struss is finally going cold…

Fast break dunk for LaVine over Buckets to go up 2!

Starting to trade buckets a bit here…

Good D by Coby fronting Buckets and catching the entry pass.

Bam is really struggling to find his legs in his jumper.

Tie ball game after a Caruso steal and slow break layup!!!
