First quarter
Final 25-28: led by star Keldon Johnson (10 points), the Spurs came out on top in a first quarter in which Miami was the better team, but fell apart when Butler and Adebayo went to rest.
1:21 (20-28): Miami is a team on a complete drought right now: San Antonio has made three straight 3-pointers and is winning by eight points against an opponent that has conceded 19 points in a row. Big revenue from Doug McDermott, who scored two of those 3-pointers from more aggressive and faster Spurs on offense.
3:25 (20-12): The offensive duties for San Antonio are very complicated, which only hurts Miami when Florida has some lack of focus.
6:30 (15-7): Miami continues to pull away: Strus hit a solo 3-pointer from the corner that led to an angry Gregg Popovich calling a timeout.
