The game between the Miami Heat and host Chicago Bulls that was postponed last Thursday due to a wet court has been rescheduled for Jan. 29 at 8 p.m. ET.

In addition, the game between the Bulls and host Heat originally scheduled for Jan. 30 has been moved to Jan. 31 at 8 p.m. ET.

The original Jan. 8 contest had to be postponed due to moisture and slick conditions on the United Center floor.

Players completed their pregame warmups but remained on the court for about another 45 minutes as workers attempted to dry the surface with towels and brooms and officials tried to lower temperatures in the arena to combat the conditions.

Officials said heavy rain and high temperatures in Chicago that day, coupled with the hockey ice underneath the basketball court, contributed to the condensation.
