After outscoring the visiting Heat 34-21 in the
fourth quarter on Saturday, the Bulls were unable to flag down
the Heat on Monday despite shooting 45.7 percent from the field
with 11 3-pointers.
Robinson shot 6-for-9 from long range as Miami drilled 17 treys
as part of a 48.6 percent effort from beyond the arc. Jaime
Jaquez Jr. (19 points), Jimmy Butler (16), Kevin Love (11) and
Josh Richardson (10) also scored in double figures for the Heat,
who led by as many as 24 points.
Coby White paced the Bulls with a season-high 20 points. Four
other Bulls scored in double figures: Nikola Vucevic (18
points), DeMar DeRozan (15), Zach LaVine (13) and Alex Caruso
(13).
Vucevic grabbed a team-best eight rebounds, but the Heat were
plus-seven on the glass behind Adebayo and Love, who finished
with eight boards.
Miami jumped out to a 12-2 lead after just 2:27, highlighted by
a pair of Robinson treys. But Chicago, which overcame a 22-1
first-quarter hole to defeat the Heat on Saturday, responded by
scoring the next eight points.
The Heat took a 65-53 lead into halftime, leading by as many as
14 in the first half.
Butler (12 points), Love (11) and Robinson (11) each were in
double figures at the break, as the Heat thrived behind solid
ball movement. Miami had 16 assists in the first half against
just two turnovers.
White had 11 first-half points for Chicago, which shot 50
percent compared to 57.1 percent for Miami.
The Heat stopped a four-game losing streak in the all-time
series against the Bulls. That ended Chicago's longest active
winning streak against any opponent.
Kyle Lowry, Butler and Adebayo each had six assists for Miami.
