NBA Finals 2012: Chris Bosh Will Start Game 2 For Heat

Chris Bosh battled an abdominal strain for a significant portion of the 2012 NBA Playoffs. The Miami Heat were certainly happy to see him return to action during the Eastern Conference Finals against the Boston Celtics, but he has been limited and has not started the past four games.

On Thursday night, Bosh will finally be in the starting lineup for the Heat as they take on the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 2 of the 2012 NBA Finals. The Heat are down 0-1 in the series and will be hoping for a big contribution from Bosh to avoid being in a big hole by the time they return home to host Game 3 in the series.
