The Heat and Bulls meet for the second of four regular season matchups and the second of a back-to-back after just playing the Magic last night. Earlier this season, Miami recorded a, 143-107, win in Chicago on November 21. With their game originally scheduled for January 8 being postponed, the HEAT and Bulls will now play each other three consecutive times with a game tonight, Saturday and Sunday. It is one of the rarest schedule stretches in league history. The Heat are 65-68 all-time versus Chicago during the regular season, including 37-29 in home games and 28-39 in road games. Bulls assistant coach Dan Craig served as an assistant coach for the Heat from 2012-20 as a part of 17 total seasons within Miami’s organization (2003-20). The Bulls also recently retired the jersey of legend Derrick Rose, who was the 2011 MVP before injuries slowed his career. The Heat are coming off a disappointing loss to the Orlando Magic, where they were again badly outplayed in the third quarter.Â
