Chris Bosh scores 21 in regular-season return

Chris Bosh was back at work, doing what he loves, and loving what he feared he’d lost.

Bosh had a team-leading 21 points and 10 rebounds, and aggressively reached the free-throw line 10 times in 32 minutes of action in Miami’s 104-94 victory over the visiting Charlotte Hornets.

The power forward stood at center court minutes before the Miami Heat opened its 28th franchise season in the NBA and addressed the home fans who filled every seat of the downtown arena by the bay.
