After trailing by as many as 10 points in the fourth quarter, the Heat battled back to make it a one - possession game with 13 seconds to go. They then had a chance to go for the tie as they inbounded the ball, down by three with seven seconds remaining, however they fumbled the ball on a dribble - hand - off, turning it over and destroying their chances of a comeback. The Bulls (13 - 10) did a good job to hang - on for their second straight win. Jimmy Butler was the high - point man for Chicago, with 31 points, while Dwyane Wade came to play, as he dropped 28 points on his former team. The only other Bulls player to score in double digits was Taj Gibson, who finished with 13 points. The Bulls only shot 1 - of - 8 from long range but hit 28 - of - 31 free throws to help earn the win. The Bulls are now 7 - 3 at home and will look to keep it rolling as they play host to the slumping Timberwolves on Tuesday. The Heat (7 - 17) dropped their fifth straight game, however they have been hampered by injuries, and were missing Justise Winslow (wrist), Dion Waiters (groin) and James Johnson (shoulder) in this one. Hassan Whiteside and Goran Dragic combined for 41 points for Miami, while the bench came up large with 44 points, but it was still not enough to top the Bulls, who out - scored them by 17 at the foul line. After going 0 - 3 on their road trip the Heat will look to turn things around as they play host to the Wizards in a Southeast Division match - up on Monday.
