King gets battered.
Wednesday night, the Heat took their 27-game winning streak to Chicago to play the Bulls. Shockingly, the Bulls did what no team has been able to in months: they beat the Heat.
Kirk Hinrich played a big role, particularly in taking the ball away from Chris Bosh. KIRK HINRICH STRAIGHT TOOKEN 2, STARRING THE INCOMPARABLE LIAM NEESONS.
But as a team, the Bulls did this by playing very physical defense. Because the Bulls' mediocre offense had no chance against Miami's in a shootout, they had to make the game as ugly and choppy as they could.
Between that bear-hug tackle of LeBron James by Kirk Hinrich and this assassination of Dwyane Wade by Jimmy Butler, the Bulls' brutal physicality helped keep Miami out of its perpetual-motion offensive ball movement.
