Heat ‘go for the kill’ late in third quarter to blow out Spurs, even Finals series
With 3:50 remaining in the third quarter of Game 2 between the San Antonio Spurs and Miami Heat, Spurs guard Danny Green had just pumped faked Heat forward LeBron James and went straight to the rim to score his 17th point of the night with an uncontested layup.
The Spurs led 62-61 over the Heat for a small moment; however, the following play by Mario Chalmers would ignite a Heat run that would send the Spurs back to San Antonio after being blown out 103-84 Sunday.
After Green scored, Heat guard Mario Chalmers would score on the other end attacking Green and the Spurs’ defense with a right-handed layup that drew contact and resulted with an and-1 opportunity. The Heat would take a 64-62 lead with 3:11 remaining in the third quarter, and from there, they would never look back as they took command for the night.
