Bulls center Bam Adebayo gestured toward the locker room as his Heat teammates trudged along in front of him.
Thursday’s Bulls-Heat game was delayed for approximately 1-hour, 46-minutes because of condensation on the court before ultimately being postponed. Coach Erik Spoelstra had a strained smile as he walked past fans, clearly peeved that his team wouldn’t play a game on Thursday.
The Bulls were on the second night of a back-to-back and flew in from Detroit after Wednesday night’s loss.
The Blackhawks played in the United Center the night before.
In 2017, an early March game between the Trailblazers and Timberwolves was postponed due “a slippery court caused by condensation from an ice sheet underneath it and outside humidity on a day in which temperatures reached the mid-60s,” according to the Associated Press.
A makeup date is to be determined. When the Blazers and Timberwolves had their game postponed, they had to have a makeup game because of playoff implications. The Heat and Bulls’ schedules don’t line up to play this game next week.
The game can’t be played Friday because the Blackhawks host the Capitals, and the Heat have a road back-to-back in Indiana on Saturday and Oklahoma City on Sunday.
