Five things you should know from Sunday's 103 84 Miami Heat win in Game 2 of the NBA Finals vs. the San Antonio Spurs

The Heat have now won 11 consecutive games following a loss including five victories following a loss in the postseason with a 21.6 points a game differential. Miami hasn't lost consecutive games since mid January.

GAME 2 Blowout comes with major exclamation point

The Spurs had 16 turnovers in Game 2 after turning the ball over four times in Game 1. San Antonio equaled their Game 1 total in the first quarter of Game 2. In Game 1 you saw the turnover numbers and tonight it was a lot higher Spurs guard Danny Green said. Offensively moving the ball is going to be a big key for us.

GREEN Spurs' Game 2 star nearly never made it in NBA

Miami went on a 33 5 run at one point during which the Heat made 6 of 7 shots and scored 16 points on pick and roll plays with Mario Chalmers handling and LeBron James screening according to ESPN Stats and Info.

CHALMERS How he inspired LeBron and Heat in victory

Tiago Splitter was a good sport after LeBron James' monster block. At least I'm going to be on the news Splitter said with a laugh. I just tried to make a good play but he's a great player.

BLOCK Even one Heat rival was impressed with LeBron

Spurs stars Tony Parker Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili really struggled in Game 2 combining for 27 points 16 rebounds seven assists and nine turnovers. The Spurs were minus 27 with Parker on the floor (his worst plus/minus of this postseason and fourth worst of his playoff career) minus 23 with Ginobili and minus 14 with Duncan.
