1. For a time, this was just about as close to a carbon copy of last night against the Knicks as you could get. New York got off to a 10-0 start, pushing as hard as anyone has against Miami in transition, before the HEAT’s bench shifted into gear and took control. And tonight, San Antonio pushed it to 18-5, constantly driving and cutting into the paint as the HEAT were caught on their heels. But again the bench came in, the energy changed, and eventually Miami took the lead – it just took a little longer with the Spurs making every floater and pull-up jumper they put up on their way to a 40-point first.
