Just when you thought Chris Bosh (Bosh Spice) couldn't play any softer, he goes off and scores 34 in route to a Miami win over the Chicago Bulls. The win pushes the series 2-1 for Miami. Much like game two, the game was all about the defense for the first three quarters. Very scrapy, very physical, and at times very ugly. But in late in the game Miami finds a way to push it to 13 and the Bulls never were able to get back into it. Final score Mia 96 - Chi 85.
Bosh's 34 point effort means the Miami Heat are now 3-1 when Bosh scores more than 30. Aside from trying to count on him to do that consistently though, coach Erik Spoelstra has to feel good knowing that his team can still come out on top even with relatively quiet games from star wings DeWayne Wade and Lebron James. Lost in the glamor and pop of the Miami 3, Chris Bosh has fell into the shadows recently. Instead of three amigo's heading to the podium it has normally just been Lebron and Wade as of late. When heat coach Tom Thibodeaux talked Miami before the start of the series, he said they had two great players. Until tonight, you may could even argue that. But, if tonight's game proved anything, don't count out the effect Chris Bosh has. His finesse game draws a lot of criticism for a team that needs bangers more than anything, but the return of Udonis Haslem has opened Bosh up to do what he is capable of doing. Bosh has came a long way refining his game to fit with his new teammates but he's still trying to find his role. Tonight was just an indication of what that role can be. Miami will still be Wade and Lebrons team, but remember, don't sleep on the other guy.
