The beginning of this game was reminiscent of last week’s back and forth matchup. But that only lasted a second with the Warriors carving up the Miami defense and the Heat missing easy buckets.
For much of the first quarter Caleb Martin was clearly Miami’s most effective offensive weapon. The Heat looked unsure of itself going 3/12 to start and bricking makeable looks. It also doesn’t help when you’re being cooked from three by...Draymond Green. With the reserves in, Tyler Herro would close the gap to get Miami back within striking distance by slicing to the rim on a good drive.
