The game was characterized by a strong showing from the San Antonio bench, which contributed 50 points to their total. The Spurs led for over half an hour of game time and achieved their largest lead of 16 points, showcasing their control throughout the match. Their shooting was particularly effective; they hit 53 percent from the field and an impressive 46 percent from beyond the arc, sinking 16 three-pointers.


Defensively, San Antonio also excelled with nine blocks and ten steals. This defensive effort limited Miami's scoring opportunities and contributed to a higher efficiency rating for the Spurs compared to their opponents. The team capitalized on turnovers as well, scoring 33 points off Miami's mistakes.


The Heat struggled to keep pace despite putting up a valiant effort. They managed only seven steals and one block in comparison to San Antonio's numbers. While they did outrebound the Spurs with a total of 60 rebounds – including an advantage on offensive boards – it wasn't enough to overcome San Antonio's sharpshooting.


Miami had trouble finding consistency from long range as well; they shot just under 32 percent from three-point territory but were more successful inside with over half their two-point attempts finding success. However, turnovers proved costly for them as they gave up possession a total of 24 times during play.
