In the NBA, the Chicago Bulls (23-24) will show up at the Kaseya Center in Miami this night – at 2 am Italian time – where they will meet Simone Fontecchio’s Heat (25-23), in great shape after the 23 points scored against Orlando. All this for 48 fundamental minutes in the race for the post-season.
Close in the standings to the West and still with a chance to play for the remaining slots for the play-ins, their challenge at this point becomes very important to play for the play-ins. The Bulls, in fact, are tenth, while the Heat are eighth. The last and so far only time Chicago and Miami met this season dates back to November 22, with the Heat dominant and with 10 players in double figures. Balance is the key word, even if the balance leans slightly in favor of Miami, the favorite and ready to overwhelm the Bulls.
