[April 10, 2015]  April 9 (The Sports Xchange) - Highlights of Thursday's National Basketball Association games:

Bulls 89, Heat 78

The Chicago Bulls used a second-half surge to erase a 19-point half-time deficit and rally for a victory over the Miami Heat.

The Bulls, without Jimmy Butler, went on a 39-8 run from half-time to the early stages of the fourth quarter.

Chicago (47-32) moved into sole possession of third place in the Eastern Conference after falling into a tie with the Toronto Raptors following Wednesday's loss to the Orlando Magic.

The Heat (35-44) are now 1-1/2 games behind the Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics for the seventh and eighth spots in the East playoff race.

Miami have three games remaining on their schedule.
