The following comments were posted by our championship game announcer - Mike Baiamonte (Voice of the Miami HEAT):
I really enjoyed watching the strategy of how the two teams wanted to play totally different styles. Miami Jackson wanted to get into its running game as much as possible, while Buena preferred a more half court tempo. That really led to an interesting coaching battle and ultimately a very exciting game.
