?I hurts,? James said. ?As a team, we felt like we played well. We gave ourselves a chance to win...but they pretty much dominated the overtime.?

The Bulls outscored the Heat 12-2 in the extra period. James said the Heat was spent emotionally after C.J. Watson drained a difficult three-pointer to tie the game with 2.2 seconds left. It appeared that either LeBron or Shane Battier left Watson alone. Both players were helping triple-team Kyle Korver, who was 5 of 6 from three-point range for the game.

The Heat's Big 3 scored 71 points (30 from James; 21 from Wade; 20 from Bosh) but Miami didn't have the depth to contend for the Bulls' bench. Chicago's reserves outscored the Heat's 47-7.
