“Miami Heat: The Chicago Bulls’ Playoff Curse?”
Chicago’s starting lineup for Wednesday night’s play-in game featured Josh Giddey, Kevin Huerter and Matas Buzelis, all newcomers. The offensive style was completely changed, with the Bulls playing up-tempo and shooting a lot of 3s. The Bulls needed this season to be different.
And yet, at the end, it felt very similar to year’s past.
It was another year in the play-in tournament and another year that ended at the hands of the Miami Heat.
This was the third straight season the Bulls lost to the Heat in the postseason, making it only the third time since 2010 that a team lost in the postseason three straight years to the same team and the first time that didn’t include LeBron James. The Indiana Pacers lost to the Miami Heat in 2012, 2013 and 2014, and the Toronto Raptors lost to the Cavaliers in 2016, 2017 and 2018.
