Just two games after the All-Star break and the Chicago Bulls look like they have taken steps backwards. They lost a second straight game, this time, a lifeless 101-90 loss to the Miami Heat at the United Center. That dropped the Bulls record to a mediocre 16-20 on the season.
Goran Dragic was scoreless at the half, he stayed quite then exploded to score 20 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter. The Bulls had no answer for the playmaking point guard.
Jimmy Butler was his usual effective self, scoring 28 points on 7-for-17 shooting with eight assists.
