<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Chris Bosh's body was finally willing, which meant his mind was finally at ease and Anthony Parker didn't mince any words in trying to explain how the two-time all-star looked last night: "He's back."</p> The Raptors are far better off for it.</p> Bosh was more dominant than he's been this season, living at the free-throw line rather than dying with the jump shot and the Raptors got a huge boost from an unlikely rookie source to defeat the Philadelphia 76ers 105-103 at the Wachovia Center, putting the brakes on a three-game losing streak.</p> Frustrated 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.</p> The most significant play Bosh made won't be in the boxscore.</p> 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.</p> "Chris is getting his bounce back," coach Sam Mitchell said. "He got right back up and blocked the ball."</div></p> The Toronto Star</p>
The second-jump block was the best recovery I've seen Bosh make in ages.</p> He is still running like he has a stick up his ass, though. I wonder if this is going to be the norm for him forever or if he will ever get his glide back.</p>
