MIAMI - The Miami Heat beat the Chicago Bulls 101-93 in overtime to take a 3-1 lead in the Eastern Conference finals and move one win away from a place in the NBA finals series.

The best-of-seven series moves to Chicago for Game Five on Thursday. (Friday in Manila)

A compelling and physical game finished 85-85 in regulation after league MVP Derrick Rose missed a game-winning shot for the Bulls with the final play.

The Heat, with LeBron James (35 points) taking charge, dominated in overtime and extended their post-season home record to 8-0.

The loss was the first time this season the Bulls have lost three successive games. — Reuters
