Kyle Lowry sat out of Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls with a knee injury after being listed as questionable for the Eastern Conference showdown. The Bulls took a 113-99 victory over Miami in the United Center, taking the win over the Heat as six players scored in double-digits. Three Miami starters, center Bam Adebayo, forward Jimmy Butler and guard Tyler Herro, scored in double-digits for the Heat, while guard Max Strus earned 20 points in just under 31 minutes played off the bench.
Kyle Lowry was sidelined for over one month with knee pain before he played in just over 36 minutes against the Orlando Magic, where Orlando earned a 126-114 victory over the Heat in the Amway Center. Miami went 2-1 upon his return.
