Allan Houston and Alonzo Mourning's excellent performance on the offensive end ensured that the Heat remained in the game.
You have to admit, this Miami Heat team is really strong.
Even though Sprewell and Jamal Mashburn were completely outplayed, the Heat still had players who could step up.
Allan Houston's shooting today was just too good, initially sticking to his sweet spot of mid to long range.
But as the game progressed, he also increased his three-point attempts, and his shooting percentage was very high.
Pippen wasn't just idly standing by; his active defense disrupted most of Allan Houston's shots.
However, under Allan Houston's hot hand, Pippen's interference seemed somewhat pale and powerless.
Mourning's close-rim bank shots were also very accurate today, it was as if Duncan had taken over his body.
The last shred of dignity for Sprewell was solely supported by Houston and Mourning's efforts.
Because of their effort, Spree harbored illusions: I haven't lost yet!
