More than any other opponent the Spurs have faced this young season, the Miami Heat live off frantic energy and explosive runs. They’re fast, they’re feisty, they attack the rim, and they force defenses to rotate over and over until someone is wide-open in the corner. Many of the issues the Heat pose for teams were apparent in Wednesday night’s game, but perhaps more than ever, the Spurs—due to incremental improvement nearly across the board on the roster and nice free agent signings—are equipped to downsize without compromising their identity.
The Spurs are offering a special ticket deal to readers of Pounding the Rock for the November 2nd game against the Warriors.
