CHICAGO — – Kel’el Ware<\/a> had 20 points and 14 rebounds, Norman Powell<\/a> scored 19 points and the Miami Heat<\/a> rolled past the Chicago Bulls<\/a> 143-107 on Friday night.<\/p>\n

Bam Adebayo<\/a> scored 18 points, while Pelle Larsson<\/a> and Davion Mitchell<\/a> each scored 16 for Miami, which topped the 140-point mark for the fourth time this season – matching its total of such games from the last seven seasons combined.<\/p>\n

Miami – which ended the game averaging an NBA-best 124.8 points per game this season – led by 41 in the closing minutes. That was the second-biggest Heat lead of the season and the biggest Bulls deficit (the previous was 25 against New York on Nov. 2).<\/p>\n

Ayo Dosunmu<\/a> scored 23 points for Chicago, which got 19 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists from Josh Giddey<\/a>. Jalen Smith<\/a> scored 14 for the Bulls.<\/p>\n

The Heat moved to 2-1 in NBA Cup games, a half-game behind Milwaukee (2-0) for the East Group C lead. Chicago (1-2 in Cup games) fell to fourth in the group, a half-game behind New York and a half-game ahead of Charlotte.<\/p>\n

Chicago opened the game on an 18-11 run over the first 5 1\/2 minutes, but Miami controlled matters the rest of the way. A 53-21 Heat burst gave Miami a 25-point lead late in the first half, and the margin was never less than 14 again.<\/p>\n

The Bulls lost Kevin Huerter<\/a> in the third quarter after he waved at the ball in frustration following a foul call. The ball bounced into the back of referee Che Flores’ leg, and Huerter was ejected.<\/p>\n

Chicago also saw Matas Buzelis<\/a> (right ankle) and Dalen Terry<\/a> (left calf) leave with injuries.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Heat: At Philadelphia on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Bulls: Host Washington on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
