Bosh and Little Gasol jumped for the ball at the center circle.
Amidst the cheering of the fans, Bosh tapped the ball back to the Heat's half-court, giving the Heat team the first opportunity to attack.
The Heat team's style of play was no different from the regular season; the others spread out, then let James go for the low post one-on-one.
The Grizzlies had prepared for this, with Little Gasol staying near the three-second zone, ready to provide help defense at any moment.
Guy also spared no effort to physically contend with James.
James finally turned and squeezed past Guy, but after encountering Little Gasol's help defense, he passed the ball to Bosh.
Bosh took a mid-range shot off the catch but hit iron.
Bosh had been injured against the Pacers in Game 1—a pulled abdominal muscle.
It wasn't a major injury but, with the Heat at a severe disadvantage against the Celtics, he had been forced to come back early before fully healing, and his condition was average.
