The leaders of the Eastern Conference won 112:99 at home against the second-placed Chicago Bulls on Monday evening and increased their lead. The fourth win for the Heat in a row was also the second loss in a row for the Bulls. Zach LaVine was the top scorer of the game with 22 points, but couldn’t prevent his Bulls from going bankrupt.
In the pursuit, defending champion Milwaukee Bucks scored 130-106 against the Charlotte Hornets. The Bucks are fourth ahead of the Cleveland Cavaliers, who lost their home game to the Minnesota Timberwolves 122-127.
Of the teams still hoping for a spot in the playoffs, only the Toronto Raptors won, aside from the Western Conference Timberwolves. The Canadians got a 133:97 against the Brooklyn Nets, who continue to have difficulties without their stars and also had to do without coach Steve Nash, who was briefly on the NBA’s corona list.
