Games three and four will be played in Miami, Florida, on Tuesday and Thursday (Wednesday and Friday, PHL time).
A Tony Parker triple gave the Spurs the lead, 93-92 with 2:26 left, but Chris Bosh came up with a pair of big plays, first nailing a triple, which turned out to be the go-ahead basket, and then finding Dwyane Wade for a layup, 98-93, 9.4 seconds left.
After LeBron James finished a vicious dunk to tie the game at 15-all, the Spurs closed out the first quarter on an 11-4 run.
In the second period though, the Spurs’ offense ground to a halt. They shot just 30.4 percent, compared to 57.9 percent in the first period, and that allowed the Heat to catch up. Back-to-back hits by Tony Parker with 2:55 left had the home team up five, 41-36, but they missed their last six shots, to create that tie.
After the break, James missed just one of his seven field goal attempts, to register 14 in the third period alone, but after a Ray Allen layup made it a five-point game, 71-66, a pair of Mills treys swung the lead back to San Antonio, 74-73, under minute left.
A pair of jumpers by Dwyane Wade found the bottom of the net, but a floater by Tony Parker capped of the period, with the Spurs on top anew. - AMD, GMA News
