Chicago Bulls vs Miami Heat - Full Game Highlights - October 19, 2022 NBA Season.

A fabulous way to bring us into this 22-23 campaign. FTX Arena is the site for the opener of the season as the Chicago Bulls meet with the Miami Heat. Buchavich was touched away by Bam, and here comes Miami. Butler into Dosumu, and he scores the first two. That's good recognition that time by Io to get the ball inside. Here is Hero, and it's 5-0. Hero picks up DeRozan, who rises up and connects. Williams hedging out on Hero, forcing him into the paint, but he gets the floater to go. Fabulous season last year, mostly off the bench. Sixth man of the year in the NBA, the first in Heat history. Caruso, nice jumper. Here is Hero now in that corner. That's a tough shot over Dosumu, rolling Caruso. Tried to save it, but into the hands of Martin. Up ahead to Butler, and he jams it in. Smaller green, who plays bigger than he is. Martin driving, kicking. Hero, open. Too much space for Tyler Hero. I'm telling you. First five minutes, three threes already for Tyler Hero. Here's Green, driving Lowry. Nice dish off to Buchavich. There's that hedge on Hero. Adebayo rolls, and then the secondary pass. That was really well. Comes over, see a man cutting. They hit the first open man they see. It's an easy dunk. They were eighth in the league in assists last year. Green's open, yep. But you see the double. White sticking with Lowry. Got into a tough spot, and kicked to Martin. 4-3 on his. And it shouldn't be a surprise for the Bulls. They've got to get out and close out the shooters quicker. They made the sixth most per game last year. And one for DeMarduro. Yeah, he's up to a lot of little bunnies. 0 for 5 now on Dosumu, drives it all the way. Bulls trail by 5, 3 to play. There's a switch again. And Ayo gets a look. Oh, bang, bang, bang. The Rosen. The Rosen now has kind of settled down defensively. Martin, that's a nice little jump to stop. Commitment to serve, support, and lift up her team shows daily. Oh, nice, nice. Oh, what a finish at the rim. When they were playing in Miami together for all those years. Doreen Drogic making an early impact. Here's Chicago's Max Struis knocking it down. Drogic, Green, White, and Drummond out there with Caruso. Kobe hits a 3. He's got 9 for Miami, which leads by 5. Oh, Drogic is trying to draw the foul. Oh, he nearly can go. It's a go somehow. I'll tell you what, he did get fouled. I don't know why they didn't call that. The Bulls will happily take the tray. Denman responds with one. Drummond and Williams now in the front court with Caruso, Drogic, and White. Oh, got to get out there. Duncan Robinson hits a 3. Bulls trailing by their largest deficit again of 9. It is Drogic to cut into it. Oh, bang, bang. Bulls need it back. Here's Vincent, the floater, no. Denman, the putback. Pass, Vincent missed the 3. Butler tried to slap it out into the hands of Robinson. Struis fires and hits. Here's Drogic, he'll fire again. And connects. Bang, bang. Starting to heat up. Vincent out to Struis, another 3. And you've got to play them that way if you're the Bulls. The perimeter players cannot fall asleep. Oh, Drogic. Give me the hot sauce. Snow, rebounded to Bam Adebayo. Running the floor, taking it all the way. Here's Hero, taking it to the rim. Tough marble with the left. Here's Martin, denied from the backside by DeRozan. Butler forces it up and scores it. Bulls still within 6. They've trailed by 9 a couple of times, but they've stuck with the heat. Here's White. That's a 3. Bang, bang, bang. Bent from 3 last year, a career best. And you've got to remember, he was coming off his shoulders. That's right. He's healthy to begin the year. Here's Caruso, another one. Bang, bang, bang. Heat of this game. Missed Boots again. Dosumu puts the Bulls on top. Wow, that was a good shot. Oh, Hero, what an adjustment by Thomas Match. Boots got doubled, kicked to White. Long rebound to Caruso. Dosumu again. Good again. Dos strikes. So starting at the 2 guard, it gives you defense. And he's knocking down a couple of 3's here. DeRozan works inside and puts the Bulls here in the third quarter. DeRozan with a double from Butler and Lowry. Dosumu drives, glides, and scores. Might need to give them a call. I'm going out of town. DeRozan got it to go and a foul. 4-1 for 8 from the field. Caruso rushing back on Hero, who uses the shot fake and buries the 3. We started that first quarter super high. Rimming good. Right into Vucevic against Adebayo. Let him work in the post. Got it to go. Nice move. Get the ball in the heart of the lane. Lowry slipped it to Adebayo. Takes the elbow jumper and knocks it down. Dosumu was looking for a cutting Vucevic, a turnover. Here comes Lowry all the way to the rim. Lowry with the reach around that time. Williams drives and scores. DeRozan working against Martin. Looking to keep the dribble alive. Couple of pump fakes. Got it to go and a foul. Here comes DeRozan, knifing through. What a feed to Vucevic. Ayo, jumps down to Vucevic. The kick to DeRozan. He's going to fire a 3 and hits. Just turn him loose. Don't do his thing. Just let him go, man. He might start running a little bit more. Here's Butler. Switch with Hero. Doubling. White drives to the rim. Past Hero and scores. Bulls have numbers. DeRozan trailing, driving, dribbling it in. Get the rim and don't be late. Bulls have taken a lead as large as 13 now. Dosumu, the jumper, and he matches it through 20-26. Here is DeRozan, that mid-range jumper. He is now in the double figures in his season debut. Trying to stick with Butler, though. That's tough. Butler missed the field goal. Got it. Here's Robinson. Oh, Williams, the reach nearly got it. Vincent floats it in. His first points. He's in two screens. DeRozan stops, fires over Robinson. Good! Drogic trying to stick. Oh, nice play, Drummond. Big Andre Drummond! What you talking about, Willis? Yeah, Struis got it to Dedman. Throws it out to Robinson. Robinson, a little out of sorts and still banked it in. Struis, lob. Oh, man, Bam on a bio, got it. White was so good at the numbers that time. Bulls almost four minutes without a bucket. DeMar's back in the game to try to help that cause. Here he is, hitting again! For Miami. Williams hits the deck. Ayo helps out on Lowry. Everybody else has to rotate. Struis fires and hits. Oh, wow. Here's Vucevic firing a three! Give me the hot sauce, Vuce! He's been kind of imploring guys to push the pace a little bit tonight. Six to shoot, DeRozan. When you need a big shot, it's DeMar DeRozan. Compton's finest. Big field goal again for DeMar. Match up. Caruso's on Butler here. Butler, nice pass off to Adebayo, who scores in a foul. Easily. DeRozan, late in the clock. He's going to fire a three and knock it down! Stop it, DeMar. Don't show it all to him in game one. Five on night one. DeRozan does on 13 of 20. 65% tonight. Big three by Max Struis. That was well behind the three point line, as you said, Steve. The game out. Point guard. He's out there with DeRozan. Working on Butler. Firing a fadeaway jumper! It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter who's on DeMar. Vucevic looking. Dosumu the shot fake. Drives. Kicks. DeRozan. Caruso. Free! Would not go. Vucevic, the put back! Oh, he just remained. Number one seed in the East a year ago. No Zach Levine. Lonzo Ball on the shelf to start the season. And DeMar DeRozan delivers 37 on night number one of the season to lead the Bulls to an early season.
