MIAMI — More than three hours after tip-off, Dwyane Wade ran across the floor, hopped onto a courtside table and threw his arms in the air.
Exhausted yet exhilarated, Wade pulled off a Miami miracle.
He scored 48 points, the last coming on a running 3-pointer to beat the buzzer in double overtime, and the Heat pulled out a wild 130-127 win over the Chicago Bulls on Monday night.
“Mr. Dwyane Tyrone Wade Jr., if he’s not legitimately considered for an MVP candidate, I don’t know what he needs to do,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.

I am sorry, but after the last month of play, D-Wade has not only thrown himself into the MVP race in a major way, but in my opinion, has now moved ahead of both Kobe and Lebron. I know D-Wade and the Heat won’t win it all, but the Heat simply aren’t as good as the Celtics or Cavs. While some see this as a negative against Wade, I think this only makes it more impressive what he has done. If you take Kobe or Lebron from their respective teams, the Lakers and Cavs are still teams to go far in their conference playoffs…as where if Wade is taken from the Heat, they are lucky to win 30 games….
