After Action Report
The Heat survived the Bulls 97-96. Heat's scorers couldn't be contained. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Heat carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
