Phoenix's Shaquille O'Neal scored 45 points in a win against Toronto on Friday night, and Chris Bosh wasn't very happy about it.
"He was just camping down in the lane," Bosh said after the game. "I mean, if they're not calling three seconds — I thought it was a rule, but I guess not."
The game marked Shaq's high-scoring effort since he put up 49 for the Lakers against the Celtics on March 21, 2003.
"It was cool," O'Neal said. "Guys were really looking for me. I've been saying all year if I can get those touches like that, I think I can do that every night."
