LeBron James sat out his second consecutive game with a sprained ankle and the Heat lost Chris Bosh in the third quarter to an apparent ankle injury as well.
Bosh was chasing a loose ball in the third quarter when Bulls rookie center Omer Asik dove on the floor and collapsed Bosh's left ankle. Bosh, who had 11 of his 17 points in the third quarter, immediately grabbed his leg in pain and appeared frustrated at Asik's actions.
Bosh left the floor a few moments later and eventually went to the Heat locker room for tests and treatment and did not return.
