THE Miami Heat recorded its most lopsided playoff win in franchise history and inflicted the heaviest such defeat on Chicago by beating the Bulls 115-78 on Wednesday, squaring their National Basketball Association Eastern Conference semifinal series 1-1.
Nine technical fouls, two ejections and a lot of pushing and shoving also injected some venom into the series, as the Heat turned what was a close game in the first half into a blowout.
In Wednesday's other game, the Golden State Warriors withstood a big comeback from San Antonio to beat the Spurs 100-91 and also square their Western Conference series.
The second half in Miami was embarrassing for the Bulls. The Heat led 42-38 with 3:42 left in the first half, before going on a remarkable 62-20 run. Miami's Ray Allen scored 21 points in only 19 minutes, and LeBron James finished with 19 points and nine assists.
Joakim Noah and Taj Gibson were ejected in the fourth quarter for Chicago, and the league will almost certainly review some of the things said and done in a game that was close for the first 20 minutes.
Marco Belinelli scored 13 for the Bulls, who got 12 from Noah and 11 from Nate Robinson.
Golden State's Klay Thompson scored 34 points to lead his team to a series-squaring road victory over San Antonio.
Thompson, who scored 29 points in the first half, added 14 rebounds for Golden State, which snapped a 30-game losing streak in the Alamo City. The Warriors had not won in San Antonio since February 14, 1997.
