After Action Report
In Chicago, the Heat took care of the Bulls 96-81. The Heat won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Shots just aren't falling for the Heat lately; Heat's outside barrage was a constant threat. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
