The Miami Heat have not lost two games in a row throughout the entire 2013 NBA Playoffs but the San Antonio Spurs definitely have the talent to take control of this series with a 2-0 lead. Game 1 was an epic battle; Miami controlled the game up until the 4th quarter then all of a sudden Tony Parker emerged late, sinking a couple of crucial buckets including a jump-shot as the shot-clock expired resulting in a Spurs victory. Game 2 will be another close game and I expect both teams to play with a sense of urgency. Check out our predictions below ans share you thoughts on who you think will win the game.
2013 NBA Finals: Spurs Versus Heat Game 2 Predictions

Prediction: Heat, Final score 99 to 89.
Miami has not lost consecutive games in the playoffs and I don’t think they will start now. They will be the more desperate team tonight as they do not want to go down 0-2. I look for the Heat to make their 3-pointers tonight, for the team to play with more energy (particularly on defense,) and to see some more of Lebron James guarding Tony Parker.

Prediction: Spurs. Final score 93 to 87
When I think of the word team, the Spurs are what comes to mind. They are the most complete team in the NBA while the Heat rely on a couple of players. The Spurs are just too much for the Heat and they don’t beat themselves. Even another triple-double from Lebron can’t save the Heat.

Prediction: Heat, Final Score 103 to 93
I believe Lebron James and Dwyane Wade will respond emphatically. James will be more vocal this game and I expect key contributions from Chris Anderson and Ray Allen. Tony Parker will find himself being guarded by Lebron James, which tells me that Parker wont be near as effective offensively as he was in Game 1. Tony Parker’s dribble penetration wont be as effective this game, but Tim Duncan will continue to dessimate Miami’s big-men.

Prediction: Spurs, Final Score 98 to 91.
I believe LeBron James will come out from the jump ball and play hard. Unlike game one, James will assert himself early. The rest of the Miami Heat I’m not so sure about. Last game Mike Miller came out and contributed right away and has been the go to guy so far in this series but the Heat will need more. Wade is playing through knee pain and it shows in his game and as usual Bosh is no where to be found in the paint. I think Tim Duncan and Tony Parker will come out even sharper than the last game. The Spurs beat the Heat in game one shooting just 42 percent from the field thanks to their veterans and Coach Greg Popovich and now they have home court advantage. I see the Spurs hanging in there until the final minutes of the fourth quarter and puling off another win in Miami. Spurs in game two.
