NBA Sets Jan. 29 Makeup for Heat–Bulls, Moves Chicago-at-Miami to Jan. 31

The league's date changes follow a postponement caused by moisture on the United Center floor.

Overview

  • NBA Communications set the rescheduled Heat–Bulls game for Jan. 29 at 8 p.m. ET at the United Center.
  • The previously scheduled Chicago at Miami game on Jan. 30 was moved to Jan. 31 at 8 p.m. ET.
  • The Jan. 8 matchup was delayed and then postponed after players noticed slick spots during warmups.
  • Reporting linked the floor moisture to an NHL game at the arena the night before and unseasonably warm, rainy weather in Chicago.
  • The changes create three straight meetings between the teams and a four-games-in-five-nights stretch, with the Bulls at the Pacers and the Heat hosting the Magic on Jan. 28.
