With an 87-86 win over the Heat, the Bulls move to the second seed in the Eastern Conference, one game ahead of Miami and 2.5 games behind the Boston Celtics.
And Chicago has the tiebreaker over the Heat because they handily won the head-to-head matchup 3-0.
Derrick Rose played like the league's MVP, leading the Bulls with 27 points. But it was Luol Deng who scored the winning points for Chicago.
Deng scored 18 points as well, but it was his last three points that counted the most. With the Bulls trailing by two in the final moments, he was sent to the free-throw line.
Deng made the first free throw, but missed the second. He rebounded his miss and was fouled again.
Deng made both of his upcoming free throws. LeBron James and Dwyane Wade each missed potential game winners for the Heat, who now have lost four games in a row.
