Six points is nothing. But with the way these two teams are playing, feels bigger than that.

Only 5 different Heat players have made a basket in this game (James, Wade, Battier, Chalmers, Andersen).

Miami tries to run away, but the Spurs hold on like a kid to his mom at the mall.

People inside #Spurs organization tell me Kawhi Leonard is the future face of the franchise. Playing like it tonight.

Mario Chalmers banks home a 3 to beat the third quarter buzzer and give the Heat a 72-71 lead over the Spurs heading into the 4th quarter.

Ray Allen, Mike Miller and Mario Chalmers a combined 0 of 11 from three-point range.
