The Rundown:

The air conditioning is fixed and the teams are ready. The NBA Finals should be back to focusing on basketball and basketball alone comes Sunday's Game 2 in San Antonio.

The Internet exploded on Thursday over a malfunction at the AT&T Center which left the arena and the players gasping for breath through rising temperatures - conditions which sidelined Miami Heat superstar LeBron James for the majority of the fourth quarter due to extreme cramps.

With James on the bench, the Spurs electrified - outscoring the Heat 36-17 in the fourth to turn a four-point deficit at the end of three into a 110-95 win.

Five Spurs players scored in double figures on Thursday, with Tim Duncan (21 points) leading the way. LeBron chipped in a game-high 25 to lead the Heat, and we can only speculate how much that total would have risen if he was at full strength down the stretch.

Regardless, it's a 1-0 Spurs series lead as San Antonio looks to hold on to home court advantage tonight in this rematch for the ages.
