There's no question about it. The Miami Heat wer trying to send a message to the Chicago Bulls on Thursday night. That message: the postseason is just around the corner, let's get ready to rumble.

First up: Heat forward James Jones, who delivered a shot towards the head of Bulls center Joakim Noah, drawing an immediate ejection on a Flagrant Foul 2.

Next: All-Star guard Dwyane Wade, who decked Chicago Bulls guard Richard Hamilton with a forearm shiver shortly after halftime. Wade was assessed a Flagrant Foul 1 for the hit and both Wade and Hamilton were hit with a double technical foul for the ensuing mini-fracas. 

Did all the bullying work? You could spin it that way. Miami won 82-73, holding the Derrick Rose-less Bulls to just 11 fourth quarter points. Wade finished with 18 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds and 3 steals on 7-for-16 shooting in 33 minutes.

Here's video of Heat guard Dwyane Wade's flagrant foul on Bulls guard Richard Hamilton.
