Heat 93, Bulls 79: Chris Bosh had 28 points and 10 rebounds as host Miami rolled past Chicago despite being without injured LeBron James.

Dwyane Wade added 23 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists and Mario Chalmers contributed 12 points and nine assists as the Heat won their fifth straight game and coach Erik Spoelstra became the sixth-fastest coach in NBA history to reach 300 career victories. James suffered a broken nose in last Thursday’s victory over Oklahoma City and is expected to return to action when Miami hosts the New York Knicks this Thursday.

Joakim Noah had 20 points, 15 rebounds and four blocked shots and Taj Gibson added 20 points and 10 rebounds for the Bulls, who had a five-game winning streak halted. Mike Dunleavy tallied 13 points for Chicago, which shot just 35.8 percent from the field and committed seven shot-clock violations among its 19 turnovers.

The Bulls had a 50-49 lead with 5:20 left in the third quarter before Miami erupted for 11 straight points, capped by Ray Allen’s driving hoop with 2:10 remaining. The lead was 65-52 entering the fourth quarter and expanded to 16 when Michael Beasley drained a 3-pointer to begin the final stanza.

Allen connected on a 3-pointer and Wade followed with a layup as the Heat stretched the lead to 75-56 with 8:22 left. The Bulls made a push and crept within 11 but four straight points by Bosh, a 3-pointer by Chalmers and Wade’s basket allowed Miami to build the lead back up to 18 with 2:43 left as Chicago finished with the fewest points by a Miami opponent this season.
