– It was about how off Norman Powell was.
– As in the leading scorer who had kept the Heat afloat amid Tyler Herro’s absences.
– Erik Spoelstra often talks about how you have to make the opposition play your game.
– But with Kel’el Ware out of...

Thursday night’s Heat-Bulls postponed due to unplayable slick court at United Center
CHICAGO – Thursday night’s game between the Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls was postponed nearly two hours after the scheduled tipoff, after an extended delay due to 50-degree temperatures, heavy rain and the ice below the court at the United Center that left the playing surface too slick for play.
A makeup date was not immediately announced. This was to be the Heat’s final visit of the season.
The game, scheduled for an 8 p.m. Eastern start, featured the typical pregame warmup scheduling. But as players went through warmups, several players identified slick spots due to condensation.
