Live from the UC: Bulls vs. Heat

The Bulls face off against bitter rivals LeBron James and the Heat at the United Center.

Sure, Udonis Haslem was friendly before the game. As for during ...

Yeah, yeah, the NBA playoffs are coming and the Bulls are fighting for position in the Eastern Conference. That basically goes out the window for a few hours--LeBron James and the Heat are in town.

3rd & 7 37yd

LeBron was crying to the refs after that alley oop. Just enjoy the moment, man. #miavschi

WHOA, Butler and LeBron with the wrestling match. 2 points for Butler on the takedown. #miavschi

Sweetest interview with @JoakimNoah 's dad. #proudfather

.@KingJames T'd up for having a slap fight with @mr_2eight1 on the floor. Hand them a couple of pillows next time. My god.

This game is legit #MIAvsCHI

FULL BULLS INTRO prior to today's game vs. the Heat

We really do need a #JoDadCam whenever Noah's dad makes it to the game. #MIAvsCHI

Udonis Haslem signing some autographs for kids before the game started. Nice guy.

LeBron's shooting 2-of-7 at halftime. Any chance he comes out for the second half with the mask back on? #miavschi

by Christopher Sosa via twitter 3/9/2014 6:02:44 PM
Heat 10-for-16 in second quarter.

by K.C. Johnson via twitter 3/9/2014 6:02:54 PM
It's 43-37 Miami at halftime. Wade leaving all scorers by a mile with 17 points on 6-for-8 shooting. He also has 3 assists. Bulls' leading scorer is D.J. Augustin off the bench.

by sely 3/9/2014 6:06:33 PM
If you didn't already know who @KingJames was going into this game, you wouldn't give him a second look. Presence simply not felt here.

by sely via twitter 3/9/2014 6:09:25 PM
Huh. MT @WGNRadio : Got a problem with your computer? Bill Moller will be joined by the Micro Center tech guys to help you sort it all out.

My guess? LeBron still hungover from all his partying and twerking with Miley Cyrus at The Underground on Friday night.

redeyechicago.comMiley Cyrus partied Friday at The Underground, but the 21-year-old “Wrecking Ball” singer wasn’t even the most famous person at the club that night. That honor goes to LeBron James .

by sely 3/9/2014 6:11:36 PM
I think @JoakimNoah has the solution... #MIAvsCHI http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BiTfLp2CcAAVgMC.png

Just 2 minutes left until the 2nd half is underway. Look for a huge adjustment on defense not letting Wade have so much open space. He's killing the Bulls.

by sely 3/9/2014 6:16:30 PM
By the way, Lebron and Bosh were at Underground (as was Miley Cyrus) Friday night... bit.ly/1ffCTu8 #MIAvsCHI

#Bulls just 2-of-9 from 3-point land. Ugly. #miavschi

by Christopher Sosa via twitter 3/9/2014 6:25:25 PM
Very, very unnecessary foul by Hinrich there. #MIAvsCHI

by Christopher Sosa via twitter 3/9/2014 6:27:01 PM
Hinrich gets a do-over.

by jgalliart 3/9/2014 6:30:16 PM
Dear @KingJames ,

You are utterly boring to watch play basketball today, sir. Thinking about opening my Yahtzee app.

Love,
@TheSeanWoW

Noah T'd up during timeout.

by K.C. Johnson via twitter 3/9/2014 6:31:13 PM
LeBron has as many turnovers (four) as he does points. If that keeps up, the #Bulls are in good shape. If. #MIAvsCHI

by Christopher Sosa via twitter 3/9/2014 6:31:50 PM
Chalmers called for offensive foul but refs give Noah a T after words are exchanged on way to bench.

.@KingJames just as inconsistent today as Cuppy Coffee during that @DunkinDonuts race.

by sely via twitter 3/9/2014 6:33:57 PM
Hey look, another air ball from Hinrich.

by sely 3/9/2014 7:46:21 PM
From behind the basket, Hinrich airball 3 for a split second appeared to go through the way it brushed net. Nope. 27.8 seconds left, up 7.

On Yannnick Noah Smiling Night, Bulls beat the Heat 95-88 in OT. Impressive.

by David Haugh via twitter 3/9/2014 7:47:47 PM
I think it's really nice of the @UnitedCenter for not charging all 22,000+ people here more money since the game went to overtime. #chicago

by sely via twitter 3/9/2014 7:48:04 PM
#Bulls . Win. Bye bye, Miami. See ya in the playoffs, hmmmm? #MIAvsCHI

by Christopher Sosa via twitter 3/9/2014 7:48:06 PM
BULLS WIN 95-88 OVER THE HEAT. Joakim Noah is player of the game, according to the UC.

Media crowd of 40 around Noah's locker and he currently can be heard singing in the shower.

"There are no rivalries in professional basketball." --@KingJames on the Bulls/Heat matchup.

by sely via twitter 3/9/2014 8:25:48 PM
Reporter: is today's win sweeter?
Noah: "yup. I had a blast out there."
#MIAvsCHI

by Christopher Sosa via twitter 3/9/2014 8:28:56 PM
Noah, on his dad: "I know he's happy right now. Can't wait to celebrate with him." #MIAvsCHI

by Christopher Sosa via twitter 3/9/2014 8:31:37 PM
.@KingJames acted out & talked all about how he knew @mr_2eight1 loves poking the ball out on the left side, but he went for it anyway.

by sely via twitter 3/9/2014 8:35:50 PM
Noah: "I've never felt more confident as a basketball player." #MIAvsCHI

by Christopher Sosa via twitter 3/9/2014 8:37:19 PM
Noah: "This is what you play basketball for. I love it. Beating Miami . . . I don’t care if it’s the regular season, it’s always special."

by K.C. Johnson via twitter 3/9/2014 8:43:55 PM
Noah on his Dad: "I know he’s a nervous wreck during games. I always tell him to drink a brewski and just chill."

by K.C. Johnson via twitter 3/9/2014 8:47:58 PM
It's interesting how, because @KingJames never played college basketball, he doesn't feel what a rivalry truly is.
