The Miami Heat dominated the Chicago Bulls 134–91 on February 1 at Kaseya Center, a 43-point blowout that fell well short of the Vegas total of 233.5. Bam Adebayo and Patrik Larsson each scored 20 points to lead Miami's balanced attack, which shot 50.5 percent from the field and made 14 three-pointers while committing just 8 turnovers. Chicago's offense crumbled early, shooting only 32.2 percent and making just 6 three-pointers; Coby White led the Bulls with 16 points in a losing effort. The Heat's third quarter proved decisive, outscoring Chicago 39–22 to effectively end the contest. Miami's defensive rating of 86.7 suffocated the Bulls, who managed 18 assists and 47 rebounds while turning the ball over 18 times. The Heat's 44 assists and 54 rebounds demonstrated superior ball movement and rebounding control. This lopsided victory underscores Miami's current form and deepens Chicago's offensive struggles heading into the second half of the season.
