"With the Heat shooting 2-12 from the field, 1-6 from three-point range, Coach Spo called a timeout to reset the group. He'd insert Jaquez Jr. shortly after to spark momentum, and it worked with Jaquez getting involved and Larsson and Powell getting some tough buckets to cut the lead to two. Suddenly, the Heat were on a 9-1 run, and things looked very different from the slow start."
"Fontecchio continued to be a force for Miami, going 3/5 from three for 11 points in only six minutes played. There are so many players on this Heat team who can contribute; they truly play team basketball. Jaquez Jr. and the Heat generated another 8-0 run to take its first lead of the game. I know it's been talked to death already, but Jaquez Jr.'s improvement can't be overstated. He looks like a completely different player."
Miami began the game cold, missing its first six shots and going scoreless for two minutes while Cleveland jumped ahead by eight. Coach Spo called a timeout with the Heat 2-for-12 and inserted Jaquez Jr., who helped spark a 9-1 run with Larsson and Powell providing tough buckets. Fontecchio hit 3-of-5 from three and contributed 11 points in six minutes as multiple players shared scoring responsibilities. Cleveland regained leads at times and exploited the absence of Bam Adebayo defensively, but Ware and others produced rebounds and offense. A decisive 20-2 run swung control to Miami late in the half.
