Miami (AFP) - Jimmy Butler scored 23 points to power Chicago to an upset victory Friday at Oklahoma City while Chris Bosh sparked the Miami Heat to a home victory over New Orleans.
The games tipped off five Christmas holiday contests that also include the feature matchup of last season's playoff finalists, defending champion Golden State and runner-up Cleveland, plus the Los Angeles Clippers against the Los Angeles Lakers and the San Antonio Spurs at Houston Rockets.
