The Miami Heat defeated the San Antonio Spurs, 103-84, in Game 2 of the NBA Finals Sunday night to even the series at 1-1.
In a series so heavily focused on the superstars, it was the play of the Heat supporting cast that helped tie things up as the scene shifts to San Antonio.
Suffocated by Kawhi Leonard’s defense throughout, Lebron James didn’t look like his usual, aggressive self. However, he broke out down the stretch and was able to finish with a respectable line of 17 points (7-of-17 shooting), eight rebounds, seven assists, three steals and three blocks in 41 minutes.
Mario Chalmers redeemed himself after a 3-of-10 performance in Game 1, scoring a game-high 19 points on 6-of-12 shooting (2-of-4 from three) Sunday night.
Elsewhere, Dwyane Wade totaled 10 points and six assists in 30 minutes, while Chris Bosh posted 12 points and grabbed a team-high 10 rebounds in 31 minutes of action.
After watching the Spurs shoot 7-of-10 from three in the first half, the Heat found their groove toward the end of the third quarter. As the Spurs went cold from distance, the Heat caught fire. Miami finished the night shooting 52.6 percent (10-of-19) from three compared to 50 percent (10-of-20) for San Antonio.
