After Action Report
The Heat took care of the Bulls 98-87. The Heat won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Fresh off a statement win, the Heat stayed locked in; the Bulls carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
