The NBA finals playoffs standings has the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs tied 1-1 as LeBron James led Miami to a win in Game 2 at the AT&T Center by the score of 98-96 to tie things up heading to South Beach and the Big 3 have now continued their streak of winning after a loss and the postseason schedule continues on Tuesday for Miami and San Antonio.
James bounced back from the cramp game and San Antonio fixed their air conditioning problem after the embarrassment in Game 1 of the series and now things are tied 1-1. The series last season started off with a San Antonio win, but that was in Miami and now things shift to South Beach for the next two games of the series. James scored 35 points and had 10 rebounds in the game, while Tony Parker had 21 points and seven assists, while Tim Duncan added 15 rebounds and now this series looks poised to go deep after Miami rallied to tie things up.
The Spurs opened the game with a 26-19 first quarter and Miami pulled back in the second and then took hold in the fourth quarter and James helped keep things going until the buzzer. The Spurs hit a three at the end of the game, but they were down five and now Miami has completed its goal of splitting in San Antonio. James led all scorers in the game after having to leave with cramps in the fourth of game 1 and now the next two matchups will be on Tuesday and Thursday in Miami.
The Spurs were lights out in the fourth quarter of Game 1, hitting six threes and pushing away from the Miami Heat after LeBron James had to leave the game with cramps. The Spurs lost to game 1 in Miami last year and now they have rebounded to win Game 2 for the second year in a row and this time if things go seven it will be in San Antonio and instead of the 2-3-2 format of 2013, it will be a 2-2-1-1-1 for the seven game series.
James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade have always been able to rebound from a playoff loss and they did that again on Sunday night and they have the chance to pull ahead with a win in Game 3. Chris Bosh had a huge three at the end of the game with just over a minute left and now the team has won 13 straight games after a loss in the playoffs.
