After a blazing hot winning streak , the Heat got turned off in Chicago . The Miami Heat 's 27-win run ended Wednesday night with a 101-97 loss to the Chicago Bulls . LeBron James and company were six wins away from the NBA record of 33 consecutive victories . That record belongs to the 1971-1972 Los Angeles Lakers . So close : Miami Heat not the only ones to almost break a record . Before Wednesday 's defeat in Chicago , the Heat 's last loss was on February 1 to the Indiana Pacers . Despite James ' 32 points , Miami could n't top Luol Deng and the Bulls in their third meeting this season . While some Bulls fans reveled in triumph , holding a sign proclaiming , `` THE STREAK IS OVER ! ! `` , many Chicago fans gave the Heat a standing ovation as the team left the court . The Bulls have been a formidable opponent for Miami in the past . The Heat have a 40-50 all-time record against the Bulls in regular season , and a 15-30 record for games played in Chicago .
The Heat were six wins away from matching the NBA record . They lost to the Chicago Bulls 101-97 on Wednesday night . Miami is now just one game behind Atlanta for first place in the Eastern Conference, and they have a chance at winning their division if they beat Boston tonight.
