About this Article

The Bulls did plenty of things well in Friday’s Game 3 against the Miami Heat. But beating the Heat without Luol Deng and Kirk Hinrich requires close to a perfect performance and the Bulls couldn’t deliver. They dropped a 104-94 decision at the United Center and now trail this second-round series 2-1 with Game 4 on Monday. "When you play this team, you have to have a lot of mental, physical and emotional toughness,” coach Tom Thibodeau said.
