Spo's coaching triumph in Game 2 was his defensive gameplan, not the offense. Put Bam on Tatum instead of Porzingis despite not having size elsewhere and had Jovic playing Porzingis very physically with the smaller guys bothering him from lower positions. Correctly identified Porzingis as the biggest difference maker and took him by surprise.

Is Tatum hurt or something? Feels like he’s taken 1 shot

I like the fact that we are only down 6 despite bricking shooting 17 % from the field. Can only get better. Right?

IDk that Heat can win but a low scoring slug fest is good for them

This is why I was never high on Herro. He ll have a great game once in a while but he is just way too inconsistent to ever be a great player.

Miami running the clogged toilet offense. Somebody call a plumber from the 90's.

Ugly 1st quarter. Heat missed a lot of 3s.

Was to be expected. Mazzulla was capping hard after last game when he said they defended threes tightly and the Heat just made their shots. They allowed so much space throughout the game and the Heat took advantage.
