mped up their probe into match-fixing allegations this wee

MIAMI -- For 13 years, Dwyane Wade made plenty of what the Miami Heat call winning plays.He made another one Thursday.And the Heat didnt enjoy this one.Wade turned a debated foul call into two big free throws with 13.7 seconds remaining, helping the Chicago Bulls hang on for a 98-95 win and ensuring that his return to the arena he called home for 13 seasons would be a winning one.It was Wades first time facing the Heat as an opponent, and afterward he seemed more than a little relieved that this was over.I can only imagine what he was going through today, Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg said. A lot of emotions coming back here.Chicago was up 94-92 when Wade got the call that went against Miamis Justise Winslow, a foul along the sideline on an inbounds pass where it appeared that the 12-time All-Star may have embellished a bit for effect.If he did, it worked.If it was last year, he got pushed out of bounds, a smiling Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. This year? Hes selling it.Jimmy Butler scored 20 points and Rajon Rondo finished with 16 points and12 rebounds for the Bulls. Robin Lopez had 16 for Chicago, and Wade scored 13 on 5-for-17 shooting.I thought Id shoot better, since Ive been knowing these rims for a while, Wade said.But he made the two big free throws when it counted most, and acknowledged afterward that he might have gotten a break.I got the vet call, Wade said.Said Winslow: I didnt agree with the call. I think that was because of the stage, because of him being back here. I dont think if he was at another venue, another regular game, they would have made that call.Robin Lopez had 16 points for Chicago, which prevailed in a game that had 14 ties and 19 lead changes. Doug McDermott scored 13 for the Bulls, and Nikola Mirotic added 10.Hassan Whiteside led Miami with 20 points and 20 rebounds. Dion Waiters and Josh Richardson each scored 16 for the Heat, who lost point guard Goran Dragic to a sprained left ankle in the third quarter.Winslow scored 15 and Tyler Johnson added 14 for Miami.Richardson tied the game with a 3-pointer with 6:13 remaining, but the Bulls scored the next six points and led the rest of the way. After the game, Wade went over and greeted the wife of Heat managing general partner Micky Arison, then general manager Andy Elisburg before leaving the floor and blowing a kiss to the fans who remained.That was the most emotional part of the night for me, Wade said.TIP-INSBulls: Wade spent the last couple of minutes of halftime greeting Heat staff -- with a big hug for Spoelstra. ... Wade has made a career on his pump fake, which he taught to some Heat players, and Johnson burned him with it in the second half. Its good that he takes notes, Wade said.Heat: It was the third career 20-20 game for Whiteside. The only player to have more in a Heat uniform is Rony Seikaly, with 12. ... Winslow entered the game in a 10-for-43 slump over his last three games, then shot 6 for 12 on Thursday. ... Dragic left in a walking boot, but X-rays were negative.GOOD JOBRondo isnt always the friendliest sort with opponents, but when he got a layup blocked by Whiteside with 5:20 left he offered the Heat center a congratulatory hand-slap.NO SHOWDOWNThere was one thing Wade wanted that he didnt get Thursday: He wanted to be on the floor with Udonis Haslem, his teammate on all three Miami championship teams. Let me get 1-on-1 with UD, thats what Ive been waiting on. That right there would make my night, Wade said. Spoelstra said he was disappointed that he didnt make it happen.UP NEXTBulls: Host Washington on Saturday.
