NBA QUARTERFINALS: SPURS AND HEAT

Each of last year’s NBA finalists, the defending champion Miami Heat and the San Antonio Spurs have (2-0) leads in their quarterfinal series.

The top ranked Spurs have won easily in both games against the Portland Trail Blazers.

I still think San Antonio would have won, but the Houston Rockets, upset by Portland in the preliminary round, would have been a tougher opponent for the Spurs.

Miami has also won without much of a struggle in each of their first two quarterfinal series games against the Brooklyn Nets.

Miami is the only team not to have a loss in the playoffs.
