I feel like I'm watching the same team play each other. Miami seems to be in a good spot early. Both teams like to run so who causes the most turnovers will have the edge here. Miami up 15-12 early.
Right now its a three point shooting contest with Miami winning. Miami shooting 44 % and Houston shooting 28 %. Miami up 74-60 with 5:17 left.
