The Chicago Bulls will look to try and end the Miami Heat's 27-game winning streak when they host the defending NBA champions on Wednesday at the United Center. However, according to recent comments made to ESPN Chicago, the Bulls players have the utmost respect for the team who currently hold the second longest streak of consecutive wins in NBA history.

"It's an impressive streak," Bulls point guard Kirk Hinrich said. "Obviously, they're playing at a high level every night. It's not an easy thing to do in this league."

This was a much different tactic taken than that of the Boston Celtics in days leading up to their matchup last week. Celtics players, including Jason Terry (who went viral for being dunked on by LeBron James) and captain Paul Pierce, showed little interest in Miami's streak, which began in February.

"I don't know what that's about," Bulls center Nazr Mohammed said about players not willing to give the Heat their due. "To win 27 in a row is impressive. But you know, it's about one game at a time. We know [Wednesday] is a totally new day."
