One more win . . . and the Miami Heat consider the possibility of breaking out the brooms?

No, this is not normal NBA scheduling, but it is where the Heat find themselves, in the midst of three consecutive games against the Chicago Bulls.

The scheduling the result of the teams’ Jan. 8 postponement at United Center, the Heat took the first game of the three-game set 116-113 Thursday night on the Bulls’ court.

It wasn’t easy and it got shaky late when almost all of a 13-point lead was blown, but the Heat survived when Chicago’s Coby White missed a 3-point heave just  before the final buzzer.

But for the second night of a back-to-back set that began with Wednesday night’s home loss to the Orlando Magic, the grit to endure.

“We brought a disposition,” coach Erik Spoelstra said. “Considering everything, it was a heck of a win.”

So behind 21 points from Norman Powell and a pair of double-doubles — 20 points and 12 rebounds from Bam Adebayo and 19 points and 10 rebounds from Jaime Jaquez Jr —  the Heat turned a lengthy travel day into a needed victory, easing the return trip, with the teams next to meet Saturday and Sunday at Kaseya Center.

“Got a little harrowing there at the end,” Spoelstra said with a smile of relief. “But we were able to execute and get through to the line when we needed to.”

The Heat remained without Tyler Herro (ribs) and Davion Mitchell (shoulder), with the Bulls without Josh Giddey (hamstring) and then losing Jalen Smith (calf) for the second half.

“Two more times at home and another back-to-back,” Jaquez said of the impending return engagements with the Bulls. “We just kind of continue to bring it.”

One down, two to go.

“Just trying to make sure that we bring the same intensity to the next two games,” guard Dru Smith said. “We’d love to get all three, obviously, so we just got to continue to be locked in.”

Five Degrees of Heat from Thursday night’s game:

1. Game flow: The Heat led 34-31 at the end of the first period and 62-51 at halftime.

And then another negative third period for the Heat, as they took a 91-85 lead into the fourth. It was the seventh consecutive third quarter that the Heat have been outscored.

From there, the Heat moved ahead by 13 early in the fourth, before the Bulls staged a comeback that included a Powell foul with 10.1 seconds to play that put Ayo Dosunmu at the foul line, where he made both free throws to make it 112-111.

“We have great respect for Chicago, how quickly they can put points on the board,” Spoelstra said.

The Heat called time at that stage, with Powell fouled with 8.9 seconds remaining, making both for a 114-111 lead.

The Heat’s Pelle Larsson then fouled before the Bulls could get off a 3-point attempt, with White making both foul shots to leave the Heat up 114-113 with 7.1 seconds to play.

It was a rare time when a Spoelstra team intentionally fouled up three.

“We talked about it with Pelle, that if it was at half court that we would do it,” Spoelstra said.

The Heat then went quickly to Larsson for a layup, for a 116-113 lead with 4.6 seconds to play, in a moment when he also likely could have dribbled out the clock.

So another Bulls timeout, with it ended on White’s missed 29-foot open heave.

White thought he had it.

“It hurt my heart,” he said. “I got a good look. I’ve hit that shot before.”

Perhaps not a textbook close, but satisfying nonetheless, Adebayo said.

“Got the ball in, got fouled, made our free throws, and kept extending the game,” he said.

2. Bam’s boost: Adebayo made it six consecutive games with at least 20 points, now the third longest streak of his nine-season career.

He again got to work early, scoring seven of the Heat’s first 14 points, up to 14 by halftime.

Adebayo now has scored 20 or more in nine of the last 10 games, with double-doubles in four of his last five games.

“I’m continuing to just stay in this flow,” Adebayo said.

He closed 7 of 19 from the field, including 2 of 8 on 3-pointers.

Now wanting more against the same opponent.

“We got to take care of business,” he said.

3. Rotation revision: After being reduced to the back of the rotation in Wednesday night’s home loss to the Magic, Kel’el Ware this time was first off the Heat bench.

Included in Ware’s first stint were a pair of first-quarter 3-pointers, which gave him 53 for the season, tying the franchise single-season record of 53 for a 7-footer, set by Meyers Leonard in 2019-20. Ware then broke that record with a third-quarter 3-pointer.

“I’m just doing what I can. Whatever minutes I get, try to work and impact the game,” Ware said.

It nonetheless remained an either/or equation, with Adebayo and Ware not on the court together, and Nikola Jovic the closing choice in the power rotation.

Ware was limited to 12 minutes, closing with 12 points, four rebounds and two blocked shots.

“Kel’el gave us some really good minutes tonight,” Spoelstra said. “We’re managing that second unit, which is really playing well. We’re at a point where we just need everybody contributing, whatever those minutes may be.”

5. Still going: Jaquez continues to pace the bench, his attacking style providing relief points when the Heat offense otherwise stagnated.

In addition, he again filled the box score, this time also adding five assists and three steals, active on both ends of the court, including securing the game’s final rebound.

“We embrace it,” Jaquez said of the fight to the finish on the second night of the back-to-back set. “We try to be a tough, gritty team.”

Jaquez paced a feisty Heat bench that also got 11 points from Smith and eight from Jovic.

“Dru was playing really well,” Spoelstra said, “and then we go to Jaime at the point. Those lineups have been good for us.

“Those guys have really given us a punch.”

5. Over and over: Next up? The Bulls. And then? The Bulls again.

As part of the reconfigured scheduling created by the Jan. 8 postponement at the United Center due to court condensation, the teams will play Saturday and Sunday nights at Kaseya Center.

That had the originally scheduled Friday game at Kaseya Center moved to Saturday.

The Heat’s only other game before next Thursday’s NBA trading deadline is Tuesday night against the visiting Atlanta Hawks.

And so the whirlwind continues.

“I don’t even know what city I’m in right now,” Spoelstra said as he ended his postgame media session. “I’ll be ready for Saturday night.”
