The Bulls ruined Miami's regular season run when they defeated the Heat to end their 27 game winning streak – which was just six games short of the all time NBA record.
However, the Heat are renowned for turning the screw on opposition teams in the post season, as they showed against the Bucks. The confident way in which Miami swept Milwaukee aside will have sent a clear message to all other teams in the playoffs that the Heat are definitely the team to beat once again this season.
The Heat will have been concerned about Dwyane Wade's injured right knee that kept him out of Game 4 of Round 1, but their sweep of the Bucks will have ensured he has gained the maximum possible rest before this semifinal.
Wade has recovered well and he is expected to play in the game against the Bulls tonight.
