All eyes were on the Game 1 of the 2013 National Basketball
Association championship series between the Miami Heat and the San Antonio
Spurs. What went wrong for the defending champions, and how did the Spurs steal
the opener at the opponent’s home court? What the Heat have to adjust next
outing and how should Spurs sustain their play?
The Heat’s players were doing well in offensive end. You talked
about their shooting, rebounding and their ball movement. However, defence was
definitely a huge factor on this one. Consider this thing, during the first
twelve minutes of action. Miami shot well from the field but still can’t get
away from the Spurs’ tempo. It may be fast, but still it was close fight
between them. And it was still the game’s pace all the way until fourth
quarter.
And I think the way the game played by the Spurs in the
fourth canto spelled the fate of both teams. I’m talking about better plays,
and capitalizing Miami’s clutch turnovers, with a few and notable of them
belonged to the MVP LeBron James.
