Heat-Bulls postponed because of condensation on the court

Center Bam Adebayo gestured toward the locker room Thursday night at the United Center as his Heat teammates trudged along in front of him.

It was the physical highlight of the evening.

The Heat-Bulls game, scheduled to start at 7 p.m., was delayed for nearly two hours because of condensation on the court before ultimately being postponed — only the second time such an incident has happened in the NBA. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra had a strained smile as he walked past fans, clearly peeved his team wouldn’t play.

The condensation was believed to be caused by warm air in the arena interacting with the ice sheet below the court.
