MIAMI -- For 13 years, Dwyane Wade made plenty of what the Miami Heat call winning plays. Botte Ugg Fourrure Renard .He made another one Thursday.And the Heat didnt enjoy this one.Wade turned a debated foul call into two big free throws with 13.7 seconds remaining, helping the Chicago Bulls hang on for a 98-95 win and ensuring that his return to the arena he called home for 13 seasons would be a winning one.It was Wades first time facing the Heat as an opponent, and afterward he seemed more than a little relieved that this was over.I can only imagine what he was going through today, Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg said. A lot of emotions coming back here.Chicago was up 94-92 when Wade got the call that went against Miamis Justise Winslow, a foul along the sideline on an inbounds pass where it appeared that the 12-time All-Star may have embellished a bit for effect.If he did, it worked.If it was last year, he got pushed out of bounds, a smiling Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. This year? Hes selling it.Jimmy Butler scored 20 points and Rajon Rondo finished with 16 points and12 rebounds for the Bulls. Robin Lopez had 16 for Chicago, and Wade scored 13 on 5-for-17 shooting.I thought Id shoot better, since Ive been knowing these rims for a while, Wade said.But he made the two big free throws when it counted most, and acknowledged afterward that he might have gotten a break.I got the vet call, Wade said.Said Winslow: I didnt agree with the call. I think that was because of the stage, because of him being back here. I dont think if he was at another venue, another regular game, they would have made that call.Robin Lopez had 16 points for Chicago, which prevailed in a game that had 14 ties and 19 lead changes. Doug McDermott scored 13 for the Bulls, and Nikola Mirotic added 10.Hassan Whiteside led Miami with 20 points and 20 rebounds. Dion Waiters and Josh Richardson each scored 16 for the Heat, who lost point guard Goran Dragic to a sprained left ankle in the third quarter.Winslow scored 15 and Tyler Johnson added 14 for Miami.Richardson tied the game with a 3-pointer with 6:13 remaining, but the Bulls scored the next six points and led the rest of the way. After the game, Wade went over and greeted the wife of Heat managing general partner Micky Arison, then general manager Andy Elisburg before leaving the floor and blowing a kiss to the fans who remained.That was the most emotional part of the night for me, Wade said.TIP-INSBulls: Wade spent the last couple of minutes of halftime greeting Heat staff -- with a big hug for Spoelstra. ... Wade has made a career on his pump fake, which he taught to some Heat players, and Johnson burned him with it in the second half. Its good that he takes notes, Wade said.Heat: It was the third career 20-20 game for Whiteside. The only player to have more in a Heat uniform is Rony Seikaly, with 12. ... Winslow entered the game in a 10-for-43 slump over his last three games, then shot 6 for 12 on Thursday. ... Dragic left in a walking boot, but X-rays were negative.GOOD JOBRondo isnt always the friendliest sort with opponents, but when he got a layup blocked by Whiteside with 5:20 left he offered the Heat center a congratulatory hand-slap.NO SHOWDOWNThere was one thing Wade wanted that he didnt get Thursday: He wanted to be on the floor with Udonis Haslem, his teammate on all three Miami championship teams. Let me get 1-on-1 with UD, thats what Ive been waiting on. That right there would make my night, Wade said. Spoelstra said he was disappointed that he didnt make it happen.UP NEXTBulls: Host Washington on Saturday. Its the lone home game in a stretch where Chicago plays eight of nine on the road.Heat: Host Utah on Saturday. The teams split two meetings last season.---This story has been corrected to show Rajon Rondo had 12 rebounds, not 12 assists. Ugg Mini Bailey Button Pas Cher . Vokoun departed practice on Saturday morning after discovering swelling in his thigh. He was taken to a local hospital where the clot was revealed. The club announced the surgery following a 5-3 exhibition loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets. Ugg Femme Noir Noeud .5 seconds to play in the game, Kevin Love never stopped believing that they would come out of there with a win. http:///...y-button-france.html . The 29-year-old Baines has established himself as one of the top attacking full backs in the country and was the subject of two bids from United during the last off-season. Everton manager Roberto Martinez says that keeping Baines at the club is a "massive boost and exciting for the future" because he brings "maturity and football knowledge in a very specialized position on the pitch" and an "infectious and positive influence to the rest of the squad. LUBBOCK, Texas -- After facing the first real test of Chris Beards coaching tenure at Texas Tech, the Red Raiders quickly separated from Eastern Kentucky late in a 90-71 win Saturday behind 20 points and seven rebounds from Shadell Millinghaus.Justin Gray added 17 points and six rebounds for Texas Tech. Aaron Ross finished with 16 points, including making all 10 of his free throws.As a competitor, of course I dont want to see us get out to that kind of a start, Beard said. But, I look forward to adversity.The Red Raiders have started 3-0 for the first time since 2012-13 and have won 22 consecutive home nonconference games.Asante Gist led Eastern Kentucky with 21 points and three assists. Jayle Babb-Harrison had 14 points and Nick Mayo and Zach Charles scored 13 points apiece.Early in the first half, the Colonels (1-3) maintained leads of 19-9 and 27-12 before being held scoreless for a 4:56 stretch.I was proud of the way we got out of the gates quickly, especially after a long day of travel, Eastern Kentucky coach Dan McHale said. We let (Texas Tech) start carving us up defensively. And they got easy looks. And then the floodgates opened a little bit. We were still in control for most of the first half.During that cold spell, Texas Tech (3-0) tied the game and finished the first half with a 46-41 lead.With the game tied 57-57 early in the second half, Texas Tech took a 10-point lead when Eastern Kentucky had a scoring drought that lasted roughly five minutes.Eastern Kentucky, which made 12 3-pointers, shot 36.8 percent from the floor.After 24 points off turnovers in its last game against North Texas, the Red Raiders scored 19 points off turnovers. Chaussons Ugg Soldes. elentless pursuit, Gray said. Not quitting. Not giving up. And just playing extra hard on the defensive end. Trying to push as much as we can in transition once we get that stop. And just making smart choices on offense.BIG PICTUREEastern Kentucky: Two of Eastern Kentuckys standout underclassmen have continued to perform well. Gist, a freshman, started 4 for 5 from 3-point range. Mayo, the Ohio Valley Conference Freshman of the Year last season, had nine second-half points.I think (Mayo) is as good as advertised, Beard said. I know what a pro looks like when I see it. Hell be a guy that plays after college. To me, hes a guy that can start on most BCS teams.Texas Tech: The Red Raiders have been without standout forward Norense Odiase for the third straight game. In a press conference this week, Beard said the timetable for Odiases return is potentially four to five weeks. Graduate transfer Anthony Livingston (11 points, six rebounds) has started and provided quality frontcourt minutes.UP NEXTEastern Kentucky: Visits Idaho State Tuesday afternoon. In November, Eastern Kentucky faces teams from six states -- North Carolina, Alabama, Texas, Idaho, Kentucky and Indiana.Texas Tech: Traveling to Mexico for the Cancun Challenge tournament, which starts Tuesday. It will face Auburn and Purdue or Utah State. Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys AuthenticWholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
