Now the Miami Heat lead the series 2 wins to the Indiana Pacers 1 win. The score of the game was Miami Heat 99 to the Indiana Pacers 87. If you’re an Indiana Pacers fan you know of their great Small Forward (SF) Paul Gorge. Gorge having a great regular season being number 11 in the NBA for points per game (PPG). Anyways, George had a decent night scoring 17 points, grabbing 2 rebounds, and getting 1 steal. Once again the Indiana Pacers Shooting Guard (SG), Lance Stephenson, had a great night. Stephenson scored 10 points, an astonishing 11 rebounds, threw 5 assist, and 3 steals. Even though the Indiana Pacers haven’t been winning, Lance Stephenson has really stepped up for his team.

Game 2 of Western Conference Finals

This was probably Danny Green's thoughts during the game

Last night, May 21, 2014, the great San Antonio Spurs matched up against the also great Oklahoma City Thunder. This was Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals. The outcome of the game was San Antonio Spurs beating the Oklahoma City Thunder with a score of 112 Spurs to 77 Thunder. The leading scorer on the Oklahoma City Thunder was Jeremy Lamb. Lamb scored 13 points, threw 1 assist, grabbed 1 rebound, and stole the 2 times. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook also had a good night with a total of 30 points. Kendrick Perkins was not to hot that night.  Perkins only had 2 points, 4 rebounds and only 1 block. From my view it looks like the Thunder needs Surge Ibaka on the floor. Now to the Spurs leading scorer, Danny Green, he had a great night. Green scored 21 points, stole the ball 3 times, threw 1 assist, and grabbed 3 rebounds. For those who didn’t watch the game Danny Green really stepped up this game. Green was 7 of 10 behind the 3 point line! So basically Danny Green made 7 3-pointers and missed 3 3-pointers.  The Spurs Big three including Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobili had a big part of scoring last night. All together they had a total of 47 points. Now seeing how the Spurs have played in these two game I would say,” Change nothing, you guys are playing great.” The Spurs are an old fashioned team mixed with a little new school.  The Spurs play good basketball and stick to the simple stuff and get rebounds! On the other hand the Thunder is a team with new players, who play very aggressive. If you can’t control your aggression you’ll end up in the same situation as the Thunder are in…

In the end the might Miami Heat beat the fierce Indiana Pacers with a score of 87 to 83. If you know the Miami Heat you know they have a big three including; Chris Bosh, LeBron James, and Dwyane Wade. Last night you would’ve only thought it was a big two. What I’m trying to say is Chris bosh, the Miami Heat’s starting Center, was not a big factor in their win against the Paces. Dewyane Wade and LeBron James played a great game. LeBron James, the Miami Heat’s starting Power Forward, had 22 points, grabbed 7 rebounds, threw 6 assist, stole the ball three times, and blocked three shots.
