Tyler Herro scored 38 points to pace the visiting Miami Heat to a 109-90 wire-to-wire victory over the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday in an Eastern Conference play-in game.

Herro made all eight of his shots in the first half and finished 13-of-19 from the floor — including 3-of-7 from 3-point range. He also sank 9-of-10 free-throw attempts to propel the Heat into Friday’s pivotal contest against the host Atlanta Hawks.

Miami and Atlanta split the four-game series in the regular season, with each team winning twice on its home court.

The winner of Friday’s contest will square off against the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers. Game 1 of that best-of-seven series is Sunday in Cleveland.

Miami’s Andrew Wiggins collected 20 points and nine rebounds on Wednesday and Bam Adebayo added 15 and 12, respectively.

Davion Mitchell had 15 points and eight assists off the bench for Miami, which shot a robust 49.4 percent from the floor en route to defeating Chicago in the play-in tournament for the third straight year.

Josh Giddey recorded 25 points and 10 rebounds, Coby White had 17 points and Nikola Vucevic added 16 to go along with 12 boards for the Bulls.

Chicago, however, hardly resembled the team that won all three of its regular-season meetings with Miami. The Bulls committed 18 turnovers and conceded 26 points off those miscues en route to seeing their season come to an end.

Herro bolted out of the blocks with a flourish, sinking all six shots he attempted from the floor — including a pair of 3-pointers — and both free-throw attempts in the first quarter. His offensive outburst helped Miami seize a 39-28 lead at the end of the quarter.

Herro improved to 8-for-8 from the floor after draining his third 3-pointer to extend the Heat’s advantage to 69-44 late in the second quarter.

The Bulls upped their intensity coming out of intermission, trimming a 24-point deficit to 13 at 93-80 early in the fourth quarter.

Miami, however, went on a 12-2 run, with Herro highlighting that surge with three free throws, a short jumper and a driving layup.

WR Ryan Niblett returned a punt 75 yards for a decisive touchdown in the fourth quarter and Texas got a much-needed 23-6 win over sixth-ranked Oklahoma in their annual Red River Rivalry game on Saturday.QB Arch Manning completed 21 of 27 passes for 166 yards and the go-ahead touchdown on the opening drive of the second half for the Longhorns (4-2, 1-1 SEC), who were coming off a loss at Florida that knocked the preseason No. 1 team out of the AP Top 25.Texas retained the Golden Hat trophy and should get back into the new poll Sunday.
