MIAMI and Memphis are headed to the National Basketball Association conference finals after beating Chicago and Oklahoma City, respectively, on Wednesday to complete 4-1 series victories.
Miami's LeBron James scored 23 points and Dwyane Wade added 18 for the Heat, which won a see-sawing game 94-91. The hosts led 22-4 but were then outscored by a whopping 29 points by the Bulls over the next 27 minutes before snatching back the initiative and scoring 25 points to 14 in the final quarter.
The Grizzlies advanced to the Western Conference finals for the first time in franchise history by beating the Thunder 88-84.
Chris Bosh scored 12 points and Udonis Haslem added 10 for the Heat, which will play the winner of the Indiana-New York series, which the Pacers lead 3-1.
Carlos Boozer finished with 26 points and 14 rebounds for the Bulls. Nate Robinson and Jimmy Butler missed potential tying 3-pointers on the final possession of the season for Chicago, which dropped the last four games of the series.
"We're disappointed in losing the series," Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. "But I was never disappointed in our team. Our team fought hard all year long. There was no quit in them."
Memphis' Zach Randolph had 28 points and 14 rebounds and Mike Conley added 13 points and 11 assists as the Grizzlies showed some trademark grit and grind to see off the Thunder.
