MIAMI -- Its not common for Chris Bosh to put up a big number of shots. Cheap Adidas Toronto Maple Leafs Jerseys . Maybe the Miami Heat should make it happen more often. Bosh made his final eight shots on the way to a 31-point night, LeBron James added 27 points and 13 rebounds and the Heat never trailed in a 109-102 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday. Bosh was 15 for 22 from the field, 9 for 10 after halftime and 5 for 5 in the final quarter, when the Lakers made runs but never got the lead. "We know what hes capable of doing," James said. "When hes got his midrange working like that hes pretty dangerous. And that rim looked mighty big for him tonight." Mario Chalmers and Norris Cole each finished with 11 points to help the Heat beat the Lakers for the eighth time in their last nine meetings. Ray Allen added 10, and Miami shot 58 per cent and outrebounded the Lakers 48-35. Jodie Meeks and Pau Gasol each scored 22 points for the Lakers, who lost for the 14th time in their last 17 outings. Nick Young added 19 points -- needing 20 shots to do it -- for Los Angeles, which nearly came all the way back from a 16-point second-half deficit. "They are probably battling complacency," Lakers coach Mike DAntoni said of the Heat. "But all that really matters is winning championships. Thats their problem. Were just trying to win a game -- two different teams on two different tracks." Bosh had the biggest shot of the night with 54.4 seconds left, head-faking his way free at the top of the key, stepping in and hitting a 20-footer to give Miami a 108-101 lead and making it a three-possession game. The Heat forced a miss on the Lakers next trip, then held on from there. The Heat improved to 28-5 when Bosh scores at least 25 points and 9-0 when he gets at least 20 shots, those records including post-season play. "I like it," Bosh said. "Its fun, especially when theyre going in. If you go 8 for 20, thats no fun. But when the shots are falling and teammates are looking for me, its a good feeling." Miami was without Dwyane Wade for the fourth straight game and 13th time in 43 contests this season, giving him more time to rest his oft-problematic knees. Allen started again in Wades place. Meanwhile, the Lakers started the same lineup for the third straight game, which for them in this injury-decimated season represents an actual accomplishment. Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Steve Blake, Jordan Farmar and Xavier Henry all remain sidelined, and yet the Lakers still wouldnt succumb quietly in this one. They did, however, allow at least 100 points for the 10th straight game. "We really have to be better at communicating and get each other going and letting each other know where were at," Gasol said. "Lets see if we can do that for the rest of the trip and forward." Down by 16 early in the third quarter, the Lakers found a way to keep things interesting. Meeks had seven points in the third quarter, a dunk by Young got the margin to single-digits briefly and a three-point play from Gasol with 10:47 left got Los Angeles to 85-78. About a minute later, off Miamis 15th turnover of the night, Young got a layup, the Heat lead was down to five and before long, James and Bosh re-entered to try and ensure the Heat wouldnt totally collapse. Right on cue, Bosh scored to end the mini-rally by the Lakers, then forced a missed jumper by Gasol on the next Los Angeles possession, and Cole weaved his way through the lane -- treating defenders like an obstacle course -- for a layup that restored a nine-point Miami edge, waking up a building that had been fairly quiet for a few minutes. One more time, the Lakers came back. Youngs 3-pointer rattled off the rim and down with 4:09 left, cutting Miamis lead to 98-94, but Allen answered with a 3-pointer off an assist by James on Miamis next possession. "Once they get set up defensively, its hard ot get anything done," Meeks said. NOTES: The Heat improved to 7-6 without Wade this season. Theyre 24-6 when he plays. ...

Authentic Mats Sundin Jersey . According to the sportsbook BoDog, the Stampeders are 8/5 favourites to take home the Grey Cup at Mosaic Stadium in Regina on November 24.VIENNA, Austria -- Austrian skier Marlies Schild retired Tuesday, ending a career in which she overcame several serious injuries before setting the womens record for most World Cup slalom wins. "The time has come for a new chapter in my life," the 33-year-old Schild said. "I have been able to realize the dreams I had as a little girl. I am thankful for that. But your goals change and so do your priorities in life. My biggest wish is to have a family." Schild won her 35th career slalom event in Lienz in December, beating a 19-year-old mark set by Swiss great Vreni Schneider. Schild earned four crystal globes as the seasons best slalom skier and became the disciplines world champion in Garmisch-Partenkirchen in 2011. She also won four Olympic medals but failed to take gold. "It was a great and intensive time," said Schild, who is in a long-term relationship with 2006 overall World Cup champion Benjamin Raich. "Garmisch was definitely one of my greatest successes. Benni got injured that week and that made me even more eager to take the gold." Schilds retirement wasnt unexpected. She announced after her last race at the World Cup finals in March that she would consider ending her career, and she didnt join her Austrian teammates two weeks ago when they flew to New Zealand for the annual pre-season training camp. The Austrian likely would have broken Schneiders record earlier if her career hadnt been marred by injuries. Schild missed the entire 2008-09 campaign after breaking her left lower leg two weeks before the season-opening race in Soelden in October 2008, and was out for months after damaging her right knee in pre-race warmups for a slalom in Are in December 2012. In fact, suffering from knee injuries as a teenager forced Schild to reduce racing in speed events and specialize in the more technical disciplines, slalom and GS. "I am proud that I managed to fight my way back to the top time after time," she said. "I am a fighter and somehow Ive always found ways to battle back. But now, I cant ski the perfect slallom anymore. Authentic Red Kelly Jersey. Its still good, but not as good as in my best years." Schild took over from Janica Kostelic as the dominant force in womens slalom skiing after the three-time overall champion from Croatia retired in 2007. The Austrian won her first globe that year and repeated the feat in 2008, 2011 and 2012. "Marlies Schild is an extraordinary athlete," said Hans Pum, the sport director of the Austrian ski federation. "She has brought new dimensions to ski racing. Her skiing technique is unique and the way she handled the setbacks in her career is admirable." With the soft-spoken Schild, ski-mad Austria is losing one of its most beloved athletes. Despite her successes on the slopes, Schild has kept a down-to-earth profile and seemed more at ease away from the limelight, though she has been appearing alongside Raich for many years in TV commercials for an Austrian insurance company. "(She) can be very happy with her career achievements," Raich said. "I had the feeling at the end of last season that she might decide this way. Its not an easy step for her but she can be grateful for everything that was." The 36-year-old Raich also considered retirement in the off-season after persistent back problems but has decided to extend his career for at least another season. Schild has won four Olympic medals, more than any other female skier from Austria. However, a gold medal is missing after her 12-year-career. In her first year on the circuit, she failed to finish the slalom at the 2002 Salt Lake City Games. Four years later, she earned bronze -- and a silver in the combined event -- in Turin. In Vancouver in 2010, Schild got silver after being beaten for the title by German rival Maria-Hoefl Riesch, who retired in March. This year in Sochi, Schild again came runner-up, this time to Mikaela Shiffrin. The American teenager, who has always labeled Schild as one of her idols, is following in the footsteps of the Austrian, having won the world title last year and the slalom World Cup in the past two seasons.
