After pulling ahead by as many as 17 points in the first half and beginning the fourth quarter with an 11-point lead, the Heat again wilted down to stretch to drop its third straight game and hit a new rock bottom for this season in Saturday night’s ugly 114-109 loss to the middling and injury-depleted Chicago Bulls at Kaseya Center.

This is somewhat unfamiliar territory for Erik Spoelstra, but Kevin Love has experienced a rough stretch like this before.
