Chris Bosh tried to keep up and made 24 points and 10 rebounds which brought Miami the win on Monday night against the Houston Rockets with a score of 113-110.
Dwayne Wade also had a great night and got 19 points in with 10 3-pointers finding the basket out of 21 and with 51% accuracy from the field in total.
