Bulls vs Heat Postponed After Waterlogged Court

The Bulls vs Heat game at the United Center was postponed after visible water on the court made the floor "unplayable." Humidity climbed near 60 percent, roughly double normal, and the ice under the floor was melting at the edges. Arena staff used brooms and towels for two hours but could not dry the surface, so the league pulled the plug and will reschedule the contest later in the season. Merlin sees a clash between arena logistics and weather. An unseasonably warm night plus the rink under the floor left the venue vulnerable, and players and fans were left waiting as staff fought a losing battle. Teams get a short break, but the delay is a reminder that tight schedules and indoor climate can still rewrite plans.
