Oden starting for the Heat

 

Who is starting for Bulls? ESPN boxscore has Boozer, Taj, Murphy, Varnado & Dunleavy as starters. Have doubts...

 

Dunleavy hits the jumper

 

boozer hits the jumper

 

Oden rebounds, scores and is fouled

 

Hinrich for 3

 

Snell misses a 3

 

Boozer drives the lane, scores

 

5:52 11-9 Heat

Bosh 6

Bulls 44% Heat 33%

Both teams 6 rebounds each

 

snell started in place of Varnado
