With the top seed in the East still up for grabs late in the season, seven Miami Heat players scored in double-figures to ensure they would stay on top with a convincing 127-109 road victory over the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night.
Miami's 50th win of the season gives them a 1.5 game lead over the Milwaukee Bucks while the Bulls are now five games behind in the sixth spot.
Jimmy Butler led the Heat with 22 points on 7-12 shooting, including an impressive 2-3 from beyond the arc where he shot with confidence and without hesitation.
