The Warriors' first away trip to the East in the new season ended with four wins and one loss.
The restructured Miami Heat became the stumbling block for the Warriors on this Eastern journey.
A younger lineup gave them the capital to speed up the game with the Warriors.
Jermaine O'Neal and Flash Wade teamed up at the American Airlines Arena to score 70 points, making Qin Yue's 39 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists, and 3 blocks for the Warriors that night seem wasted.
Last year's Finals saw Wade swept tragically by the Warriors, but this time he finally held his ground.
And sitting at home, Shaquille O'Neal, even got hit, becoming the most awkward person.
Winning isn't scary, it's the missing player who's embarrassed. Shaq, on the night the Warriors lost, was jointly put on the "hot search" by Los Angeles and Miami media.
