Takeaways Miami: G Duncan Robinson shook off a right hip contusion and started fast. He began the game-opening run with a pair of 3-pointers.

Bulls: Zach Collins, Kevin Huerter and Tre Jones, the trio who came to Chicago in a seven-player trade involving LaVine, were not available Tuesday night and coach Billy Donovan said they won’t play before the trade deadline.

Key moment White appeared stuck at the top of the key with the shot clock running down, but spun away into an open lane for a dunk with 2:25 left that gave Chicago a 125-120 lead and capped the decisive run.

Key stat Buzelis is going to see more minutes as the season winds down and he gave hometown fans plenty to enjoy Tuesday. He finished the night 10 for 10 from the floor with several spinning scoops at the basket and four 3-pointers.
