San Antonio Spurs Crash the Miami Heat over the week by 92 - 88
Too bad for LeBron James of Miami Heat as he suffered beating by the same people now making it the third time.
If you had told me the Spurs would have handled the Heat's traps better than the Pacers did, I wouldn't have been surprised. No team moves the ball faster than San Antonio, and you have to be able to do that to avoid being swallowed up in Miami's pressure.
The next clasico
