Heading into tonight’s opening matchup, things looked a bit bleak for the Chicago Bulls. There was the sudden news earlier in the day saying Zach LaVine being held out of action for ‘injury management’. However, the team stepped up massively in his absence, outscoring the favored Miami Heat in all but one quarter and ultimately picked up a huge 116-108 road win.
Chicago went down early and looked extremely sluggish. But they fought back and somehow got the game tied heading into halftime. This was a game the Bulls didn’t really have a chance to win at the start but they rallied up an amazing effort to pull it off.
