Aggressive Bosh Helps Miami Heat Even Series With Spurs

The Finishing Touch

With Miami up 3 and just under 26 seconds left in the game, James dribbles the ball up the court with Green defending him very well. It seems like James was trying to kill some time and maybe get a shot off as the clock expired. Boris Diaw is guarding Wade in the corner but he leaves him to go trap James along with Green. The replay shows Diaw telling Ginobili to cover Wade – he didn’t. James picks up the dribble and finds Bosh open on the perimeter with time running out. Duncan closes but is quickly left in Bosh’s dust and Diaw rotates over to help, leaving Wade wide open near the rim. A soft bounce pass by Bosh leads to an easy Wade layup, the deciding basket of the game with just under 10 seconds left.

And all of it was preceded by Bosh’s continually-effective drives to the hoop.
