Mutumbo blocks a Chris Bosh shot. The only way CB4 could be stopped on the night. He dominated from beginning to end.

Quote of the Night:
"You know, I felt pretty well when I got up this morning. My wrist was stiff but after getting to the arena tonight, our training staff did a wonderful job stretching it out and I felt pretty well from that point on. I feel like I contributed to the team tonight and gave all I had to give and left everything out on the floor. I had a good match up against Calderon tonight and was able to shut him down for the most part and that is easily the most prideful part of the night for me. I missed a free throw at the end of the game and Kapono just barely rimmed out the three pointer at the buzzer. It was like the world was lifted off me when I see it trickle off the rim and out. Chris (Bosh) was just unstoppable tonight. We had nobody that could match up to his speed and quickness while also standing almost seven feet tall. Luckily, he was the only option they had tonight and we did our part to stop everything else they had to offer." - Aaron Brooks
