Chris Bosh regains his shooting

Chris Bosh returned to the place of their mucus Sunday night and freed himself by scoring a game-high 30 points on 12-for-18 shooting.

This is far from its 1-for-18 shooting for the last time he and his fellow Miami Heat played the United Center.

"But this was not enough," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said after the Bulls beat the Heat 103-82 in front of a sellout crowd of 22,874 to take a 1-0 lead in their best seven-game Eastern Conference final.

"It's very important that we do. Everybody knows that. And they were loading their defense so much [against Dwyane Wade and LeBron James] to drop what he was able to be a recipient in the paint. But we need more offensive. But before we even talk about it, we should finish our defense with all the effort and large muscle areas, and we did that tonight. "

Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said that he definitely did not expect to repeat the nightmare of Bosh's.

Bosch was a very good player, great player in this league for a long time, "said Thibodeaux. "Every great player will be a game like that once in a Blue Moon. So we knew the likelihood of that happening again were remote.

"But we must do better at it. And they put a lot of pressure on you. They do and they extend you. They've got guys that can go off the dribble and you must have some mental effort. [Bosh] is a tough guy [for protection]. He got a quick release. He plays with his jam is very good. He can hurt you in on the rolls. He could face you. So that he can win in many different ways. "

And 6-11 center-forward did just that Sunday. He added nine rebounds to his work at night. In fact, he was the star of the heat in this game. And he played so well that he had given to Wade and James reserve role in the postgame interview. He was the only player in the heat removed to the interview podium. Wade, who scored 18 points, and James, who scored 15, held court in the locker room
