Powell left the game briefly in the first quarter with a left groin strain, but he regrouped to contribute 15 first-half points on 5-for-10 shooting. Ware was even more efficient, going 5-for-9 from the floor and scoring 12 points before the break.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
After leading the Bulls by four entering the second quarter, the Heat surged ahead by as many as 25 in the second.
