Reserve Michael Beasley finished with 21 points for the Heat, who came in as a loser of five out of the last seven games. Ben Gordon finished with 34 points for Chicago. With Miami trailing 86-85, Wade led an 8-0 run. Mario Chalmers had a reverse layup to give Miami the lead back, then Marion blocked Derrick Rose’s shot and finished with a dunk on the other end. Wade made a jumper, then hit a fadeaway over Rose to give the Heat a 93-86 lead with 1:13 left. But the Bulls came back by scoring seven consecutive points. Tyrus Thomas’ basket got them within 93-90 with 35 seconds left.
