Miami Heat: 10 best moments of Chris Bosh’s Heat career

2. Bosh blocks Green, extends the 2013 NBA Finals

One of the most important performances of Bosh’s career came in a game where he scored merely 10 points, shot 5-of-12 and missed his only free throw attempt. It was such an inspired showing by the big man, in fact, that two of his plays from that contest round out our countdown. And they both came on defense.

Of course, we’re talking about Game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals.

With just under two seconds remaining, the Heat held a three-point lead. Facing the Spurs, that lead felt about as precarious as any three-point lead could feel. Everyone knew coach Popovich had some sort of trickery up his sleeve.

With the legendary Tim Duncan inbounding, Tiago Splitter sprinted towards Allen to set a pick, who was glued to Danny Green deep in three-point range. Bosh, who never did get enough credit for how cerebral he was as a player, immediately identified what was going on.

Green was able to escape Allen’s grasp, and floated to the corner for a game-tying attempt from beyond the arc.

Just one problem: Bosh knew what was going to happen before the pass was even made. Thus, he met Green in the corner, rose (maybe a touch too recklessly), and blocked the shot straight into the hardwood floor of the AmericanAirlines Arena, giving Miami life in the series.

Clean block, and the biggest in Heat history, bar none.
