Miami's suffocating defense stymied the Bulls, who shot just 27.0 percent from three-point range. That defense gave the Heat a ton of wiggle room in the second half, so much so that Miami scored just 38 points in the final 24 minutes and still won by 19.

Kevin Huerter hit five 3-pointers and scored 18 points and the Chicago Bulls warmed-up for the play-in game with a 122-102 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday. The Bulls are the No. 9 seed in the Eastern Conference for the second straight season and will make their third straight appearance in the play-in tournament.

The Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks, the No. 10 seeds in both the Eastern and Western Conferences respectively, were victorious in their first NBA play-in game on Wednesday, advancing them to a final win-or-go-home game for a playoff berth.
