Los Angeles (AFP) - The Miami Heat were on fire, connecting on a club record 67.5 percent of their shots in a 129-111 NBA victory over the Chicago Bulls.

The Heat's shooting percentage was not only the best in franchise history, it was the best in the NBA this season.

Miami center Hassan Whiteside had a career-high 26 points with 14 rebounds and four blocks -- all game highs. It was Whiteside's sixth straight double-double, all of them off the bench.

Forward Joe Johnson, playing his first home game in Miami in his second contest since signing with the Heat at the weekend, scored 24 points.
