"Boxing out, there's a bunch of different techniques you can use and everything," Bosh said. "I've really been searching this season to find what works best for me and a lot of times I'm in situations where people only pay attention to numbers. I never really got caught up in that. I just wanted to do whatever it took to help this team win." Bosh's contributions are often overlooked, but there's no doubting his importance to the Heat.

Wade doesn't need any additional MRI exams or his knee drained, but the multiple bone bruises are causing him issues. Unfortunately, rest is the only thing that will help Wade, and that's not an option at this point in the playoffs. We're considering him day-to-day in advance of Wednesday's Game 5. For what it's worth, Wade says he will play Wednesday.

Bosh put up 20 points on Friday and his game is clicking at the right time. He's shot at least 50 percent in six of the eight playoff games to go with an impressive 2.0 blocks per game on the other end this postseason. With Dwyane Wade hurting a bit, Bosh stepping up could go a long way.

He shot 9-of-20 from the field and 8-of-9 from the line. His free throw shooting has vastly improved lately, making 19-of-20 in his last two games. LeBron's so-so production at the line has really been the only missing piece of the puzzle to his offensive game, so he'll be even tougher to stop should his improvement continue.

"He's a fourth-quarter killer with the mindset that you have to know and be aware of where he is at all times in the fourth quarter," Spoelstra said. Allen averages 10 minutes during the fourth-quarter, the highest average during his 17-year career. "He creates more space for our best players," Spoelstra added.

He came to play tonight and the Heat went to him a bunch more on offense -- especially in the first half. Bosh averaged just 7.2 boards per game in his previous six playoffs games this year, so this was certainly an unexpected outburst.

He made his last two field goal attempts including a back-breaking triple. Despite his off night from the field, LeBron was big at the charity stripe, knocking down all 11 attempts. This was his worst offensive outing of the playoffs and was the first time he shot below 42 percent from the field since March 20. Chicago will try to limit him again on Monday for Game 4.
