MIAMI — What could have been viewed as a tune-up before a pivotal stretch against Eastern Conference playoff teams proved to be anything but for the Miami Heat.
The San Antonio Spurs, despite playing on the road for a second straight night and sitting three of their top four scorers coming off a double-overtime win in Washington on Friday, gave Miami everything it could handle up until the final seconds.
Nonetheless, the Heat, led by 36 points from Bam Adebayo on the second night of their own back-to-back, clawed out a 133-129 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday night at FTX Arena.
