MIAMI — For just under five glorious minutes Thursday night, it felt like old times. Or, at least it felt like last week, when the Bulls were on a four-game winning streak, playing with an identity in large part because of guard Alex Caruso.
Then it happened. Caruso, who had missed the previous two games with an injury to his left ankle, again felt it go when center Nikola Vucevic accidentally stepped on it. Caruso went to the bench with the Bulls leading the Heat 16-5, then headed to the locker room, never to return in an eventual 124-116 win.
