The biggest flaw for Miami was simply shooting, as they failed to convert many shots. While they committed less fouls and converted more threes, they simply failed to build any offensive consistency. Chicago wasn't spectacular, but they did enough to keep their season alive for one more game.

With the win, the Bulls advance to the next round of the NBA Play-In Tournament. If they win again, they'll have to win again if they want to make the Playoffs. If they succeed, they'll be pitted against the #1 seeded Cleveland Cavaliers. It won't be easy, but they'll at least have a chance.
With the loss, the Heat have one more shot to keep their season alive. Without Jimmy Butler on the roster anymore, other players on the roster will need to step up if they want to make the playoffs. It's a longshot, but Miami isn't out just yet.
