Chris Bosh returned to the lineup with a bang, one big enough to erase a double-digit halftime deficit.

After five games on the bench, Bosh shook off a strained groin to play 41 minutes, scoring 21 points and adding 10 rebounds as the Raptors beat the Rockets 93-80 Sunday.

"I wanted to come back when the time was right and I felt the time was right today," Bosh said. "It was a big game and a game at home, most importantly. The past two days (the groin) has been pretty good in my workout. I just wanted to come out and give it a go."
