A tale of two games in the NBA finals, game one vs. game two. In game one, the Spurs were almost flawless, only four turnovers for the entire game. Tony Parker and Tim Duncan were at their best. Last night, game two was a very different story with a very different outcome. The Spurs committed seventeen turnovers, and were blown out in Miami by the Heat, 103 – 84. Parker had 13 points, Tim Duncan had 9 points and 11 rebounds. LeBron James had 17 points and 8 rebounds for the Heat who were led by Mario Chalmers with 19 points. The Heat led 80 – 65, then 91-67 in the fourth before eventually going on to the the 103 – 84 victory, with the Spurs starting five sitting on the bench watching. The Spurs were actually hanging around, even in the lead, then Miami blew the game wide open with an unbelievable 33 – 5 run in the second half. Especially unbelievable given how good this Spurs’ defense is and how well they have played, especially in the postseason. So, series tied at 1-1. Spurs did manage to steal one in Miami, and now we had to San Antonio for game three on Tuesday night. Will the Spurs win both games at home? If they do, can they then eventually claim the NBA title? Or, will Miami get at least one in San Antonio and make this a six, even seven game series with an eventual “repeat”? Hard to imagine the Spurs dropping both games in San Antonio.
Stay tuned…this NBA finals series is going to get better and better! (On a personal note…Go Spurs!)
