MIAMI -- Still reeling from back- to-back road losses to the Houston Rockets and the San Antonio Spurs out in Texas, the 42-16 Miami Heat will cross paths with familiar foe --- the 34-28 Chicago Bulls, who are playing in the midst of a six game home stand at the United Center.
The Sunday afternoon showdown marks the fourth time that these rivals will meet this season. The Heat lead the series 2-1 after winning two in Miami and dropping one in Chicago.
The defending champs will face a well-coached Chicago defense that has limited opponents to 92 points per game on 43 percent field goals.
Joakim Noah leads the Bulls' charge, producing three triple-doubles in a span of 22 days( Feb 11- March 5). Coach Tom Thibodeau will also lean on their mainstays Jimmy butler and Carlos Boozer to complement their talented 7-foot center
Ever since his 61-point outburst in Miami, Lebron has struggled with his shot the last to games. It would therefore bode well for Miami if Chris Bosh and Chicago native Dwyane Wade can produce effectively.
The Heat look to avoid their second 3- game losing skid of the season as they hope to keep up with the Indiana Pacers for the best record in the Eastern Conference. (RB)
