Next, Qin Yue forcefully resolved several rounds.
Though his jump shot did not swish through the net every time.
Yet, his stamina usage, disproportionate to Wade's, in a sense determined the course of the game.
In the second quarter, shooting 4-of-8 from the field, and making all 4 free throws, Qin Yue chalked up 12 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 steal in that quarter alone, with a total of 21 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks, and 2 steals at halftime.
Wade, on the other hand, scored 19 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals for the Heat.
After the first half, the Warriors extended their lead to 57-49.
During halftime, Riley encouraged the many championship pieces within the Heat: "This is our best year yet! If we can seize those damned shot opportunities, we can definitely win one of the first two games!"
