Defensive rebounds are well and good, they’re almost a given in every game. But collecting offensive rebounds is the key to second chance points and this was where the Spurs dominated the game. They out-rebounded the Heat at the offensive end 19-9. Tim Duncan led the charge with 7 offensive rebounds and 14 overall; and the veteran big man had only played about half the game. Bosh and James were in double figures for rebounds mainly because of their contributions at the defensive end. Overall, the Spurs had 52 rebounds whereas the Heat could only muster 36.
