To finish that quarter up 1 is huge.

Survived JB trying to shoot them out of the game with his selfish play.

Good run to end the quarter. Tatum is going to need to have one of those nights for us. Doesn't have to be 51, but 35+ probably

We have an all-NBA 1st teamer

[angryguy77]

This lineup is working. I expect Joe to yank grant

[RJ87]

Somehow we have the lead despite shooting 37% overall

Nice close to the quarter. 

To his credit, Joe made the right personnel calls when Spoelstra called that last timeout.  Taking up JB and putting Grant, Brogdon and Timelord in was smart.

Was starting to look like we were in big trouble and than Tatum and. company woke up. Lets do that for 4 quarters and imagine that, run the offense through Tatum and we cannot lose.

I'm all for managing minutes, but this is a big game. JT needs to play 45+ tonight

RONDO played 48 in game 1 of 2012 ECF

We make a run without Jaylen.  Shooting more efficiently.

Offensively, the ball definitely sticks less.

But more importantly, we've picked it up defensively, which is partly Timelord coming in for Al, too. But I don't think enough attention has been paid to Brown's continued spiraling team defense. Just not really engaged defensively unless his man has the ball. Always been a weak spot for him.

[hpantazo]

Thank you Joe. Grant comes in for Brown and we go on a run immediately

Agreed. I liked seeing Grant out there. This is a team with matchups that allow Grant to contribute.

It will be if they continue to play like they did for most that quarter. Outworked on the boards and certain players trying to play hero ball.

Didn't that game go OT? Or was that Game 2
