Bulls Upset Heat, 110-102
The Chicago Bulls defeated the Miami Heat, 110-102, at American Airlines Arena on Monday night.

The Bulls (26-35) responded to a six-point deficit after one quarter with a strong second period that left them down by just one at intermission. Miami was able to gain separation again in the third quarter by extending its advantage back out to six, but the final period belonged to the visitors. Chicago found itself down by seven at the 8:14 mark, but a 27-12 game-ending run from that point forward -- including a 6-0 stretch in the final 1:49 -- sealed the comeback win.

Nikola Vucevic led the Bulls with a 24-point, 11-rebound double-double that also included two assists and one steal. Daniel Theis followed with 23 points, 12 boards, five assists and two blocks. Coby White provided 17 points, six assists and five rebounds. Lauri Markkanen supplied 12 points, two rebounds, one assist and one steal. Thaddeus Young and Garrett Temple turned in matching 10-point contributions, with Young also finishing with nine rebounds and eight assists.

Jimmy Butler paced the Heat with 33 points, complementing them with eight rebounds, five assists and two steals. Bam Adebayo registered 23 points, six boards, two assists, two steals and two blocks. Trevor Ariza delivered 18 points, six rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks. Goran Dragic and Dewayne Dedmon posted eight points apiece, with Dragic also dishing out seven assists and Dedmon pulling down five rebounds.

The Bulls remain on the road and travel up I-95 to tangle with the New York Knicks on Wednesday night, while the Heat remain home and host the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night.
