Jaime Jaquez Jr.’s late work preserves Heat’s win over Bulls
Miami reserve Jaime Jaquez Jr. capped a standout performance with a key assist and a rebound, helping the Heat escape with a 116-113 win over the host Chicago Bulls on Thursday.
Jaquez finished with 19 points and closed out a double-double with his 10th rebound in the closing seconds, as Chicago's Coby White missed a would-be game-tying 3-point attempt.
White's final shot nearly capped a Bulls rally from down by as many as 13 points in the fourth quarter. Chicago trailed by 10 with less than four minutes remaining.
