Dear Nets, Defense Wins Championship Love, Heat

It was a scary day in Newark, New Jersey when the Heat haunted the Rock and crushed the Nets to hand them their first lost 101-78. Miami force New Jersey to 15 turnovers, 7 in the third quarter thanks to their suffocating defense. Lebron James scored 20, Bosh with 18 and Wade with 17. The Nets' leading scorer was Brook Lopez with 20.

From the start of the ballgame the Nets looked terrified from the Heat . There was no ball movement as they were forced to shoot away from the basket. They only shot 35% from the field. Rookie Derrick Favors got his first ever career double-double in the NBA (13 points and 13 rebound 10 offensive).

The Heat keeps on shutting the critics down as they show no signs of chemistry problems in this game. The Heat Rises 3-1 as The Nets fall 2-1.
