Before going on the court, Beelman pulled Petrović aside and said, "Your job is to score, try to extend the time the second unit stays on the court, score, and score again, do you understand?"
Petrović nodded, knowing that his time had come.
In the first quarter, the Trail Blazers had almost no points from the perimeter; all scoring came from inside.
The Heat's intense physical confrontation affected the players' shooting touch.
But now, Petrović had already adapted and adjusted well.
At the start of the second quarter, Petrović accelerated through a pick-and-roll in the middle.
At the edge of the three-second zone, he took a drifting stop-and-pop jump shot, scoring two points!
Petrović quickly stole one at the start of the second quarter.
For the Heat, Drexler cut out to receive the ball, accelerated his dribble breakthrough, and with a fingertip layup, hit the high glass to score!
