After Action Report
The Heat snuck past the Bulls 103-100. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. The Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Heat's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
