MIAMI, FLORIDA – FEBRUARY 01: Simone Fontecchio #0 of the Miami Heat drives against Coby White #0 of the Chicago Bulls during the first quarter of the game at Kaseya Center on February 01, 2026 in Miami, Florida. NOTE TO USER: User expressly acknowle <\/p>\n
MIAMI (AP)<\/strong> – Bam Adebayo and Pelle Larsson each had 20 points, and the Miami Heat tied their third-biggest victory margin ever in a 134-91 rout of the Chicago Bulls on Sunday night.<\/p>\n The Heat led by as many as 54; before Sunday, their biggest lead this season was 45 at Memphis on Oct. 24. It was Miami\u2019s second-largest lead of the play-by-play era that dates to 1996; the Heat beat Memphis by 60 on March 29, 2024.<\/p>\n The 54-point hole was Chicago\u2019s biggest since a 58-point deficit against Boston on Dec. 8, 2018. The Bulls\u2019 biggest deficits this season were a pair of 41-point games \u2014 one against Minnesota on Dec. 29, the other also against Miami on Nov. 21.<\/p>\n Kel\u2019el Ware scored 17 points, Andrew Wiggins and Jaime Jaquez Jr. each scored 14 and Davion Mitchell returned from a shoulder injury to score 13 for Miami, which played without guard Norman Powell (personal reasons) and Tyler Herro (ribs). Powell was announced as an NBA All-Star selection shortly after tip-off on Sunday, getting that nod for the first time in his career.<\/p>\n Coby White scored 16 points for Chicago, which got 12 from Nikola Vucevic and 10 from Ayo Dosunmu.<\/p>\n Vlad Goldin got his first NBA points for Miami in the fourth quarter \u2014 a dunk, where he kicked out his legs as if to mimic the famed Jumpman logo for Michael Jordan\u2019s line of Nike shoes and apparel.<\/p>\n The game completed a very rare instance of teams facing each other three consecutive times in the regular season, something the NBA hadn\u2019t seen since 1972. This was scheduled as a two-game set in Miami; a game that was scheduled to be played in Chicago in January was rescheduled to Thursday, which set up the two-team, three-game, four-night set.<\/p>\n Miami took two of the three games.<\/p>\n Up next<\/strong> <\/p>\n Bulls: Visit Milwaukee on Tuesday.<\/p>\n Heat: Host Atlanta on Tuesday.<\/p>\n ___<\/p>\n AP NBA: https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/NBA<\/a><\/p>\n Bulls<\/a>NBA<\/a>News<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"article MIAMI, FLORIDA – FEBRUARY 01: Simone Fontecchio #0 of the Miami Heat drives against Coby White #0…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":559976,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5124],"tags":[15427,960,5386,1818,1260,50,62],"class_list":{"0":"post-559975","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-chicago","8":"tag-bulls","9":"tag-chicago","10":"tag-il","11":"tag-illinois","12":"tag-nba","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-sports"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115998708365656964","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/559975","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=559975"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/559975\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/559976"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=559975"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=559975"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=559975"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
