End of series for the Heat beaten by the Bulls, despite being “back-to-back”. With their seven victories in a row, Jimmy Butler’s teammates had taken the match from the right end since they led 22-1 after six minutes.
And then, in yet another remake of “Hare and the Tortoise”, the Bulls chipped away at their deficit, and they waited until the last minute to take the lead, and win 102-97. Billy Donovan can thank Alex Caruso for his 3-pointer with 50 seconds to go, and DeMar DeRozan who knocks out the Heat with 22 seconds to go.
Still in the East, the Knicks easily won in Charlotte (122-108), and unlike the Heat, Jalen Brunson and his teammates did not let go of their large lead acquired in the first quarter. This is the 6th victory in seven matches for Tom Thibodeau’s men, and they come back level with the Heat, in 5th place in the Eastern Conference.
