Ahead of Saturday night’s game against the Chicago Bulls, Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra commented was asked about 3x All-Star Bam Adebayo getting hit

As the Heat's fatal flaw this season has been blowing double-digit leads, they were on the verge of doing so to start the third period as Chicago scored the first six points to start the second half, which led to an early timeout from Erik Spoelstra. It would get to a point where the Bulls cut their deficit to just one point.
