Wade gets 10,000th point, Heat beat Bulls 95-87

Dwyane Wade scored 25 points to push his career total to 10,005, reserve Udonis Haslem had 19 points and 11 rebounds, and the Miami Heat stayed unbeaten by downing the Chicago Bulls 95-87 on Sunday night.

Carlos Arroyo scored 12 points, Mario Chalmers added 11 and Michael Beasley overcame a 3-of-12 shooting night to finish with 10 points and 11 rebounds for Miami (3-0), which took the lead for good on a jumper by Wade with 3:01 remaining.

Luol Deng scored 26 points for Chicago (1-2), which got 17 points from John Salmons, 11 from Brad Miller and 10 from Joakim Noah. Derrick Rose shot 4 of 15 and finished with eight points for the Bulls.

Haslem's basket with 47.4 seconds left, off a pass from Wade, essentially sealed it for Miami, which survived a wild fourth quarter. The teams alternated the lead seven times in the final 12 minutes, before Chicago missed its final six shots over the last 3:53.

Wade made a free throw with 1:32 left in the third quarter for the 10,000th career point, the first player to score that many in a Heat uniform According to STATS LLC, among the other 42 active players on the list, only LeBron James and Allen Iverson have a higher scoring average than Wade, who reached the plateau in his 397th regular-season game.

The Heat won three of the four meetings with Chicago last season, each of those victories memorable in its own way.

-Dec. 26: Miami won 90-77, a game remembered for Heat coach Erik Spoelstra calling a 20-second timeout with 30.9 seconds left to get three starters off the floor. Some of the Bulls considered extending the game at that point disrespectful.

-Feb. 12: Miami wins 95-93 in Chicago, when Shawn Marion collected a bounce pass from Wade and dunked with 1.1 seconds remaining. It was Marion's final game with the Heat; he was traded to Toronto hours later.

-March 9: Wade scored 48 points in a 130-127 double-overtime win. He stripped the ball from Salmons with 3 seconds left, then made a running 3-pointer as time expired.

This one didn't lack for drama, either.

Even some old college rivalries got played out.

Chalmers - who hit the overtime-forcing jumper for Kansas in its win over Memphis at the 2008 NCAA title game - got past Rose for a layup, giving Miami its first lead at 40-38. Rose's drive on the next possession was swatted away by Beasley, who went No. 2 and one spot behind the Bulls' point guard in the 2008 draft.

It was that kind of game the whole way, back and forth, no team ever leading by more than five until Quentin Richardson's 3-pointer with 1:41 left put Miami up 89-83.

Only then could Miami exhale.

A spectacular individual play by Wade ensured Miami took the lead into halftime. He beat all five Bulls on one play - splitting two with a behind-the-back dribble around the top of the key, then thwarting the other three with a changing-hands layup with 14.9 seconds left, and Miami led 49-48 at intermission.

The defenses took over in the third: Neither team shot better than 36 percent, and the Bulls led 70-69 entering the fourth.

NOTES: It took 13:39 for the first two-shot foul of the game to be called. The next one was called 9 seconds later. ... The Heat played without G Daequan Cook (strained right shoulder). Cook tried to play through it Friday, shooting 1 of 9 against Indiana and saying Sunday he "somewhat" regretted that decision. ... The Bulls skipped a pregame shootaround, choosing to rest instead.
