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

6. A deep three to down the Blazers

For the second time in our countdown, we arrive to the dreaded 2014 campaign. Though I hate thinking about that season any more than I have to, it was a superb year for Bosh game-winners, so we have no choice but to (mentally) travel back to it once more.

The night was Dec. 28. The opponent, the Portland Trail Blazers. LeBron got the night off, as it was the team’s third game in four nights. As was almost always the case when one of the other members of the Big Three would sit out, Bosh took it upon himself to make up for the lost production.

On this occasion, though, he did so even more explosively than usual. Bosh finished the night with 37 points, 10 rebounds, three three-pointers and two steals in what was a thrilling 108-107 Heat victory.

His most spectacular bucket came with just seconds remaining. Miami was down by two, with fewer than eight ticks left on the clock. On the previous play, Wade got the ball and drove it in for an easy layup. Portland was clearly expecting the Heat to try a similar action on the final play, so they decided to try and stop Miami’s 2-guard at all costs.

When Wade got the ball again, Bosh set a pick to spring him loose. Two Blazers followed the 2006 Finals MVP. That left the supremely talented stretch-4 wide open behind the three-point line.

However, Wade’s pass was errant (probably because he tried to throw it behind his back), so Bosh had to take a couple steps even further away from the cup to catch it.

What happened next will be a part of Heat lore forever:

Nothing but net; Big Shot Bosh, at it again.
