"Down the stretch, close game, they made plays, we didn't make plays," John Salmons said. "You've got to make plays down the stretch. That was the difference in the game."
Salmons words say it all.
In a game where it came down to who could make plays down the stretch, the Bulls (1-2) failed and lost their second straight on the road to the Miami Heat (3-0), 95-87.
Dwyane Wade led the Heat with 25 points. They also got 19 points off the bench from Udonis Haslem.
It was another tough lost for the Bulls, two days after being embarrassed by the Boston Celtics. This time, instead of being outplayed, they just failed to convert on opportunities.
"We didn't get stops when we needed and we didn't make shots when we had to," Vinny Del Negro said. "We had good looks, we had open shots, we just didn't knock them down."
Luol Deng led the Bulls with 26 points and 8 rebounds, while Salmons contributed 17 points.
The Bulls return home, where they'll prepare for the Milwaukee Bucks (1-1) on Tuesday.
