Both teams kept it close to start, trading buckets and keeping things close. The Warriors started slow offensively and dished out a lot of fouls, giving the Heat an opportunity to extend an early lead.
Miami was very aggressive to start, cutting hard on offense and pressuring the Warriors on every shot. This led to iffy shot attempts and a really nice block for Bam (he started in place of an injured Whiteside) and one beautiful Wade steal and dunk.
Wade was amazing to start, he made his first few shots and looked like he was 27 again as he sliced and diced his was through the Warriors’ defense.
