The NBA Finals 2012 is in Game 2. During the game's 1st quarter, the word 'Heat' outsood above any other.
Like in Game 1, LeBron James and the Heat started off strong with an impressive run that ensured Miami's lead 25-10 with one minute left until the end of the 1st quarter.
Before digging into further details, the following information will take fans to watch the game, live, through online streaming provided by ESPN3.

The game started at 9:00 p.m. ET in Oklahoma City's Chesapeake Energy Arena.
Miami was seen distributing the ball better and giving the starting five more opportunities to shoot the ball. By the end of the first quarter, LeBron lead Miami's scoring with 8 pts., followed by Wade's 7 and Battier's 6.
Miami was up 27-15 by the 1Q buzzer.
James Harden was the Thunder's leading scorer with 10 points and Durant & Westbrook totaled a meager 5.
Expect the Thunder to respond and revert the advantage brought about by Miami's 1Q charge.

Like in Game 1 the Heat started strong and reached a two-figure lead but that didn't matter much since Kevin Durant and his Thunder responded with even deadlier force.
Durant played spectacularly in Game 1 as he hit 3-pointers in key moments and together with Russell Westbrook totaled 63 points, 16 rebounds and 15 assists.
LeBron on the other hand scored a NBA Finals career high of 30 points and combined to Wade and Bosh totaled 49 points, 25 rebounds, and 12 assists.
If the Thunder play whole-heartedly as they did on Game 1 and continue that way all throughout the series, the world may witness another NBA Finals sweep-the last one also involved LeBron James in 2007.
Both teams have great talent and arguably the two best players in the league with James, the league's MVP and Durant, the league's leading scorer.
Game 2 represents a lot. Not only should it set the tone of the remaining games to come but the game, who many predict will be a repeat of Game 1, will further help reveal Miami's weaknesses as a championship contender.
If the Thunder loses Game 2, however, then we got an exciting championship series remaining.
