THU 20
Heat at Pacers, Game 2 (noon, ESPN)
The Heat’s Jimmy Butler — yes, we’re still hanging on like grim death to our association with him — has a title on his mind. Pacers forward T.J. Warren, though, has been a bubble revelation. Who’s the man in this No. 4-vs.-No. 5 series, anyway?
Fire at Crew (6:30 p.m., Ch. 9)
The next phase of the Fire’s regular season — featuring three true road games and three at Soldier Field — begins with a visit to Columbus, Ohio. Will the momentum the league built with its comeback tournament in Florida continue?
Golden Knights at Blackhawks, Game 6 (TBD, if necessary)
We can dream the series goes this far, can’t we?
