Chris Bosh’s most memorable moments with the Miami Heat
By Cory Sanning
Game 5 vs Thunder, 2012 NBA Finals
Stat Line: 24 points, 7 rebounds, 2 blocks, 9-for-14 from the floor
While the easy headliners from this memorable blowout performance were James, Wade and Mike Miller, most forget Bosh was the team’s second-leading scorer this game, shooting more efficiently than any other player on the floor, including James. Playing with the same sense of urgency and toughness he boasted throughout the entire 2012 postseason, Bosh was physically and mentally dominant over any defender Oklahoma City attempted to throw at him. Niether Serge Ibaka nor Kendrick Perkins could consistently stay in front of him, and on the rare occasion they did, Bosh managed to finish anyway, hitting all five of his free throw attempts.
Most will remember this game as the day James won his first title and silenced all his critics, and while that all holds true, the same can be said for Bosh.
