And today's magical number in Chicago is.... ten.  The Bulls ended their losing streak at ten tonight against Miami, who are now on a game losing streak of their own.  After scoring only six points against the Nets in their last game, Chicago was again lacking in the third against the Heat, overcoming a ten point third quarter to break clear at the end of the fourth.  

Ron Mercer was on fire in the fourth quarter, scoring ten points in the quarter including the last eight in the game.  

"Anytime I'm struggling and I make one bucket, in my mind I feel I'm hot," Mercer said. "That's basically all it took. After making one bucket, I felt that I wanted the ball and shots fell."

Alonzo Mourning fouled out with just under ten minutes to go in the final quarter.
