1st Quarter
3:50 — Dywane Wade checks in and somehow gets his first basket. The next trip down, he fools Richaun Holmes with a pump fake to draw the foul. Father Prime, ladies and gentlemen.
6:42 — Ben Simmons is aggressive
Simmons came out and missed his first shot. It almost looked like he had some playoff jitters going on. But since then, he’s dominated, looking like the best player on the court because, well, he is.
Simmons only has four points and two assists, and he’s only shot one-of-four from the field, but the likely Rookie of the Year has dictated the pace of the game. That’s exactly the opposite of what the slow-mo Heat want on the road.
