During the 1995–96 NBA season, one in which the eventual champion Bulls finished a record-breaking 72–10, the Heat beat the Bulls 113–104, despite having only eight players on its roster after completing three trades the previous day. Having sent away five players at the trade deadline including starters Kevin Willis, Bimbo Coles, and Billy Owens, the Heat struggled to meet the league requirement of eight roster players until one of its newly acquired players, guard Tony Smith, made it on time to play in the game. Heat Coach Pat Riley said that had Smith, who started in the game and scored 16 points, not made it on time, they would have to "sign somebody off of the street".Rex Chapman was high-scorer with 39 points while hitting 9 of 10 three-pointers.
