Miami was up 86-79 with a little over 9 minutes to go in Game 1. Then the Spurs caught fire outscoring the Heat 31-9 led by Danny Green who dropped three 3-pointers to secure the first win in the series for San Antonio.
“Honestly, the way he shoots the ball, I assume every time he shoots it, it’s going to go in,” San Antonio big man Tim Duncan said. “So we want to get him as many shots as possible. He’s a very confident shooter, a very capable shooter and I think Pop has really instilled a lot of confidence in him in the fact that, when he has a crack, he can shoot the ball. That takes a lot of pressure off of him deciding what shots to shoot and what shots to not shoot. He hits one or two, and then we call a play for him, he hits another one, and that really opened up the game for us.”
Green finished with 13 points total on the night. Game 2 goes down Sunday.
