Ayo Dosunmu had no doubt! Born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, the Bulls guard was only thinking about one thing as time expired on Friday night's win.
The Heat-Bulls game, scheduled to start at 7 p.m., was delayed for nearly two hours because of condensation on the court before ultimately being postponed — only the second time such an incident has happened in the NBA. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra had a strained smile as he walked past fans, clearly peeved his team wouldn’t play.
Bulls-Heat was postponed on Thursday due to inadequate court conditions in Chicago. More specifically, the game was first delayed for around one hour and 46 minutes because of condensation on the court, per the Chicago Sun-Times, before it was officially postponed.
Coby White scored 22 points, Ayo Dosunmu had 20 and the Chicago Bulls beat the Dallas Mavericks 125-107 on Saturday night to snap a three-game losing streak.
Water was visible on the court moments before the scheduled tip-off, with humidity levels at above-normal levels, league sources said.
The Dallas Mavericks (14-24) continue this roadtrip with a visit to the Windy City to play the Chicago Bulls (17-20). Dallas lost the last time they played, Thursday night against the Utah Jazz. The Bulls are sliding along a three game losing streak, most recently falling to the Detroit Pistons by double digits.
