For the Warriors, who have been extremely reliant on their three-point shooting touch this season, the issue of stamina is fatal.
Spoelstra's strategy might allow the Warriors to temporarily gain the lead, but it will never win them the game.
The Cavaliers' players walked off the court, high-fiving each other.
Mike Brown crouched again in front of the young number 23: "How are you feeling?"
"Trailing, stalemate, overtaking... it feels like a lot has happened in just over half a quarter of play."
"That's right, great games are inherently like this. Only by experiencing victory, failure, tension, and blood, can a warrior's heart be forged. Go, LeBron, keep up the momentum and take them down!"
While Mike Brown was encouraging James, he was also motivating himself.
James needed to overcome Roger, and Mike Brown needed to get past Erik Spoelstra.
Tonight, nothing could stop them anymore.
