The Spurs overcame a slow start to beat the Heat in the first of eight consecutive away games.
The Spurs got off to a good start on their annual Rodeo Road Trip. They beat the Heat 119-101 in the first game of a Florida back-to-back that will have them face the Magic on Wednesday, before the All-Star break. LaMarcus Aldridge led all scorers with 28 points while Kawhi Leonard had 23 to go with nine rebounds and four assists. Dwyane Wade had 20 in the losing effort.
It was hard to predict an 18-point win in the first quarter.
