Bosh comes up big as Raps halt slide
http://www.thestar.com/Sports/article/275334Frustrated by not having the spring in his legs that he’s used to, out of top shape because he missed nearly three weeks at training camp with a sore left knee, Bosh had 24 points, 10 rebounds and two huge plays in the final frantic seconds as the Raptors held on.
The most significant play Bosh made won’t be in the boxscore.
With Toronto clinging to a two-point lead with less than six seconds remaining, he blocked a layup attempt by Philadelphia’s Andre Miller. A blocked shot might not be that extraordinary to a 6-foot-11 forward facing a 6-3 guard, but Bosh got it with a quick second jump, after being pump-faked into the air by Miller, making it special.
“Chris is getting his bounce back,” coach Sam Mitchell said. “He got right back up and blocked the ball.”
