MIAMI – There were no screams or meltdowns at the free throw line that could save the Bulls on Friday.

There was only the reality of Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat ending the Bulls season 102-91, putting to rest the organization’s hope of reaching the postseason for the second consecutive year.

Thanks to Butler’s 31 points, Miami advanced out of the final play-in game of the Eastern Conference, and the Bulls advanced to an offseason of some serious questions.
