“That’s as much of a must-win as we’ve had this year,” Robinson said.
“We don’t care if we won by half a point,” Adebayo added. “As long as there’s a ‘W’ at the end.”

The Heat are focused on improving their playoff positioning so, yes, every win is huge as the regular season comes to a conclusion. I
n the previous game on Friday night the Heat lost to the Atlanta Hawks by 15 points. The Heat used that loss as fuel and came out with a sense of urgency against Chicago.
Kendrick Nunn came through big as well, with 22 points on 7-of-14 shooting. He also grabbed five rebounds.
Jimmy Butler and Adebayo each scored 20 points.
The Heat will be facing this same Bulls team on Monday night. Tipoff is 8 p.m. EST from AmericanAirlines Arena.
