The Chicago Bulls have ended the Miami Heat's epic 27-game winning streak with a 101-97 triumph over the reigning NBA champions.
The Heat's streak was the second-best winning run in major North American professional sport, trailing only the 33-game NBA winning streak of the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers. The Heat hadn't lost since February 1 at Indiana.

Chicago's Luol Deng scored 28 points, including 12 in the fourth quarter, and made four three-pointers.
Carlos Boozer added 21 points and 17 rebounds for a Bulls team playing without injured All-Star center Joakim Noah of France, as well as guards Richard Hamilton and Marco Belinelli - and with star guard Derrick Rose yet to play a game this season since he is recovering from a knee injury.
"We didn't play perfect, but we fought hard the whole game,'' Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich said.
Jimmy Butler added 17 points for the Bulls, who limited the Heat's formidable offense to 44.4 percent, shooting from the field in the second half.
Heat superstar LeBron James scored 32 points on 11-of-17 shooting with seven rebounds.
Dwyane Wade returned from a two-game absence to score 18 points and grab seven rebounds, while Chris Bosh scored 21 points in the setback.
As they had more than once during the streak, the Heat fell behind by double digits, trailing by as many as 13 in the first half.
They were behind 55-46 at halftime, but once again found another gear after the interval.
James scored four points on dunks to open the third quarter as for the eighth time in the streak the Heat launched a rally from a double-digit deficit.
The Heat took the lead for the first time, 59-58, with 4:30 left in the third quarter on Shane Battier's three-pointer.
Butler's dunk on an alley-oop pass from Deng saw the Bulls rebuild their lead to 64-61 with 2:25 left in the third, Butler rising over Miami's Chris Bosh to grab the pass.
The Heat responded with another three-pointer by Battier, and had knotted the score at 69-69 in the opening minute of the fourth quarter.
The Bulls again pulled ahead with a 6-0 scoring run. After Wade made two baskets to narrow the deficit, Deng sank a crucial three-pointer - then added another almost a minute later that gave Chicago an 83-75 lead with six minutes to play.
Boozer's rebound and putback layup was followed by a a turnover by James -- leading to a layup for the Bulls' Nate Robinson that put Chicago's lead at 98-89 with 30.2 seconds remaining, and the Bulls added three free throws from there.
The Heat kept pushing, with Wade's steal and basket followed by a three-pointer by Bosh narrowing the gap with 5.5 seconds on the clock - but then to the joy of chanting Bulls fans the Heat and their streak were done.
