In a thrilling Game 7 of the 2024 NBA Finals, the Chicago Bulls defeated the Miami Heat 105-99 to claim their fifth NBA championship.

The Bulls were led by their superstars DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine, who combined for 52 points. DeRozan scored a game-high 28 points, while LaVine added 24 points and 12 rebounds.

In a tightly contested game that saw multiple lead changes, the Bulls took control in the fourth quarter. Nikola Vucevic hit a crucial three-pointer to give Chicago a 92-89 lead with five minutes remaining. The Bulls then held off a late rally by the Heat to secure the victory.

Jimmy Butler led the Heat with 20 points, followed by Kyle Lowry with 17 points. However, Miami's offense struggled to keep pace with the Bulls, who shot 49.5% from the field compared to the Heat's 40.2%.

Bulls head coach Billy Donovan was ecstatic after the game. "This is a special group of guys," he said. "They worked so hard all season, and they deserved this."

DeRozan, who won his first NBA championship, was emotional after the game. "It's surreal," he said. "I've dreamed of this my whole life, and now it's become a reality."

The Bulls' victory was met with cheers and excitement from Chicago fans. The city hadn't seen an NBA championship in nearly two decades, and the Bulls' title win brought the city together.
