The Miami Heat ( 34 - 26 ) defeated the Chicago Bulls ( 30 - 29 ) 129 - 111 on Tuesday . It 's often said that a change of scenery can do wonders for a player 's outlook and consequently , his performance . Such appears to be the case with Miami 's latest acquisition , 15 - year veteran Joe Johnson . In just his second game in a Heat uniform , Johnson paced the starting unit with 24 points , and added five rebounds , four assists and a block , his second performance of 20 points or more in two games in South Florida . He was an integral part of a historic shooting performance for the home squad , which tallied a 68 percent success rate from the field , including 50 percent from beyond the arc . Not only was it the top team shooting night to date in the 2015 - 16 campaign , but also the 17th - best such effort in the last 50 seasons . The 129 points also represented Miami 's highest scoring tally of the season . Lost in the Heat 's offense 's coming - out party was a pretty fair showing on the scoreboard by the Bulls . Seven Chicago players - - four starters and three reserves - - managed double - digit scoring , led by Derrick Rose 's 17 points . He added three assists and a steal , in his first game back from the hamstring ailment that had caused him to miss the three previous contests . Aaron Brooks followed with a 16 - point performance that paced the Bulls ' bench , and that also included a pair of rebounds and an assist . Pau Gasol was next with a near double - double , registering 15 points , nine boards , six assists and a block . Taj Gibson supplied 13 points , three rebounds , an assist and a steal , while Mike Dunleavy amassed 10 points , two rebounds and an assist . Bobby Portis and Doug McDermott were the other two reserves with double - digit scoring , as they each contributed 11 points . The former also brought down seven boards and recored four steals , while the latter complemented his scoring total with a rebound , an assist and a steal . The Bulls are in third place in the Eastern Conference 's Central Division , and dropped a half - game back of the now eighth - seeded Detroit Pistons with the loss . They head up the road to Orlando for an encounter with the Magic on Wednesday night . With such a prolific showing , the Heat naturally had plenty to be pleased about on the stat sheet . Hassan Whiteside continued to show that perhaps coming off the bench is what best suits him , as he once again paced Miami with a 26 - point , 14 - rebound effort that also included an assist and four blocks . It was notably the sixth straight double - double in his six post - All - Star - break games , all in a reserve role . Johnson was next with his aforementioned 24 - point haul , and he also posted five rebounds , four assists and a block . Luol Deng continued his solid stretch of play , totaling 20 points , four rebounds , two assists and a steal . Dwyane Wade was next in line with 18 points , seven assists and a pair of rebounds , and Goran Dragic was right behind with a 17 - point , 11 - assist double - double that was supplemented with four boards and a steal . Miami sits atop the Eastern Conference 's Southeastern Division , and currently has a hold on the fourth seed in the conference as well . They remain home to face the Phoenix Suns on Thursday .
