The Bulls shocked the Heat 128-116. The Heat had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Bulls pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
