Less than a week ago, the Chicago Bulls’ Thursday night clash against the Miami Heat was postponed due to unsafe court conditions. Heavy rain and high humidity caused excessive condensation, prompting the NBA to call off the game.
It was quickly announced that the game would be made up at a later date, with tickets from the January 8 affair valid for the rescheduled contest. Fast forward to January 12, and the Bulls announced the make-up game will be played on January 29.
While it seemed simple enough, the rescheduled date proved borderline absurd. The Bulls were already slated to face the Heat in two consecutive road games on January 30 and February 1—an unusual scheduling twist on its own.
