MIAMI, May 22 (Reuters) - Chris Bosh shot 34 points as the Miami Heat beat the Chicago Bulls 96-85 to take a 2-1 lead in the Eastern Conference championship series on Sunday.
Miami, who are now 7-0 at home in this year's playoffs, were on top from the outset and Bosh, after missing his first three shots, was their key man.
With strong defense and Bosh's shooting, Miami never looked in real danger and led 43-40 at half-time with the Bulls' Derrick Rose failing to make a single assist in the opening two quarters.
LeBron James made 22 points for Miami while Carlos Boozer top scored for Chicago with 26 but the Bulls will have to show significant improvement if they are to avoid going 3-1 down in Tuesday's fourth meeting of the seven game series.
