Major
(NBA) San Antonio vs. Miami,
Point Spread: -4.50 | -103.00 Miami (Home)
Result: Loss
The Spurs have failed in 7-of-9 road games against the spread. Yes the Spurs have the better record and are from the better conference but Miami, fresh off two straight championships and with their second best player Dwayne Wade out a good part of the year are certainly much better than their record states. The convenient air conditioning accidently going out in Game 1 benefitted the deeper and cramp free Spurs. But under normal conditions the depth is not as big in the playoffs where teams do not go as deep into their bench. Heat cover, not by much, but they win by seven.
