After getting slaughtered by the Jazz on Saturday the Heat were on a mission to start this one on a good note with Bam and Duncan Robinson doing it on both ends. In doing so they got out to a 7-0 lead. Bam was impressive to start, exploiting Ibaka with his speed while Jimmy acted as a facilitator dishing out 4 assists early.
The Clippers wouldn’t stay silent for long going on an 11-3 run, to get even with the Heat. Statistically, both teams played nearly identical to start this game, making for a back and forth matchup with multiple lead changes.
