Heading back to Miami, the Heat take back home-court advantage.
Game 2: Miami vs. San Antonio.
Apparently there were no problems with the A/C this time. That's better for everyone all around.
It also helps that after two games in the Finals, it's even.
LeBron had 35 & 10 last night. Pretty impressive numbers.
After the first quarter, in which Miami looked a bit out of sorts, the game was close. It was tied at 43 at halftime. The third quarter saw an offensive explosion for both teams. That's a rarity, as the 3rd is usually when one teams pulls away from the other in these playoffs.
The fourth quarter wasn't quite as explosive, and Miami ended up pulling away ever so slightly by the end of it.
Of course, the margin would have been five had Ginobili's buzzer-beating three-pointer not gone in. It doesn't really change the fact that Miami had the game in their hands at the end of it.
If there's anything to be concerned about for Miami, it may be the three-point shooting. As a team they were 8-for-19, which isn't bad. Ray Allen made one (of a mere three), and Rashard Lewis was 3-for-7.
Obviously, if they make more shots, the game isn't as close.
But really, despite not making some jumpers, Miami's offense was about as crisp as could be expected. Sure, there were occasions where they flubbed it, but that happens to every team in virtually every game at some point.
The series is tied 1-1. Game 3 is Tuesday.
One day off for travel, huh? Once again, the schedule makes no sense.
