MIAMI — Chris Bosh missed his first three shots, and never worried. He was in rhythm. He was catching the ball where he wanted. And then midway through the first quarter, he finally saw the ball go through the hoop for the first time. “That was good enough for me,” Bosh said. And more than good enough for the Miami Heat — who are now two wins away from the NBA finals. Bosh made 13 of his final 15 shots on the way to a 34-point night, LeBron James finished with 22 points and 10 assists, and the Heat remained unbeaten at home in the postseason by beating the Chicago Bulls 96-85 in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals on Sunday night.
