WASHINGTON - The Miami Heat overcame a slow start to beat the Chicago Bulls 100-93 in a NBA game on Sunday.

Goran Dragic scored 24 points, and Wayne Ellington had 19 points including five 3-pointers off the bench for the Heat, whose four reserves outscored their five starters.

James Johnson added 15 points, seven rebounds and six assists, and fellow reserves Tyler Johnson and Kelly Olynyk scored 10 points apiece as the Heat bench produced 54 points to extend the team's winning streak to three games.

Jerian Grant led Chicago with a career-high 24 points. Denzel Valentine had 14 points and career highs of 13 rebounds and seven assists.

"They (the bench) inspired the whole team. We understand that it was going to be a 48-minute game and they played some inspiring basketball," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said of their bench players.
