Well, they had three opportunities. Now Miami back to the offense. David Jones for Christian Lightner who throws it away. Well, he had Eddie Jones wide open for a three in transition.

Tan Prince and he up by 11. Just under 6 minutes remaining in this third quarter. Wallace played by Lightner. Wallace gets inside and is fouled and looks to put the move on Lightner. Rejected by Morning. Alonzo Morning with help defense has Chris got the step on Lightner. This is why anytime you have a shot blocker behind you, you want to send him baseline. You want to send your offensive player baseline because it’s an easier angle to come over and block the ball. That’s what the San Antonio Spurs do defensively. That’s their entire philosophy. Send everything baseline into those shot blockers. Works right back from downtown. And quiet here. It’s a seven-point game. [Applause] Shot clock at five. It was deflected says Vic Pavlla with no travel. Rasheed Wallace and he got bailed out. Did not play in game one. Coming on four. Alonzo Morning and the lead is down to five.

How about this drive, the balance he left-handed degree of difficulty goes in. And then Damon Jones, he says, “If I keep this in the building, this guy will finish it.” And he does. What a play. He’s about 2 ft above the rim. Again, from underneath. Look at that elevation. He’s playing on adrenaline and energy right now, guys. We have five minutes to get every rebound and every loose ball.

Efficiency [Applause] out of 220 left in the fourth. Here’s Hamilton. Nice setup in and Wallace puts it down. Very offensively efficient back for Hamilton. Hamilton on the drive. He scores and the foul. It counts and Rip Hamilton will go to the line. Know their defense can get stops and Rip Hamilton has not had a good shooting night. He’s now seven for 21. Seven for 20 in game one. but to be able to foul quickly. Both teams are over the foul limit. There’s Hamilton taking it to the rim and rejected once again. Alonzo Morning block shot. He has been an enormous factor in this fourth quarter with his defense. So the schedule really helps Miami and that was a missed assignment. Wade Dueling’s an excellent shooter and it’ll be Wade. Alice called as they doubled up on. You have to now go through all the things you’ve worked on all season. Clutch free throw shooting by Wade. We’re down to 10 seconds. There is Phillips. Miami does not want to foul. Clutch for three. Play by Wade. And that will wrap it. That’s the way it should be. He should put a wrap on it tonight because he fed the whole package.
