Simple Formula for the Miami Heat in Game 2: Less 3-Point Shots and Drive to the Hoop, Get the Foul for a 3-Point Play

With the Miami Heat's last two playoff series the end result, whether win or loss, has been due to winning either the third or fourth quarters. In Game One, Miami dominated the first, second and third quarters, only to be blown out in the fourth quarter and lose the game by four-points 92-88. As predicted, the Miami Heat dominated the game with their speed and talent, but by not equaling or beating the San Antonio Spurs in just one quarter resulted in a Game One loss they should have won. It seems such an easy formula. Win your quarters and win the games... But, the Miami Heat and most notably, LeBron James, did not have the urgency in the fourth quarter of Game One, except settling for low percentage three pointers by James, and especially the open three point shot from Key West that Chris Bosh launched from 150 miles away during the fourth quarter come back. The Miami Heat have gotten this far, this season, by driving to the rim with a high percentage shot and possible foul by drawing contact, get a free-throw shot and earn a chance for a high-percentage three-point play. I think Game Two will be slowed down to a halt, much more of a physicial match, with both teams trying to earn numerous trips to the free-throw line. If not, due to San Antonio's circus shots and the play of Tim Duncan, the Miami Heat will not be able to beat those Spurs in quarter play. Simple formula for the Heat in Game Two: win each quarter, less 3-Point shots and get to the free-throw line. Game Two, 2013 NBA Finals: Miami Heat 95 San Antonio Spurs 89
