streak now at 18.

The Heat's 27-game win streak last season included a double-OT home win over the Kings. It's incredible that if you change just two shots last year (a Kings miss or Heat make at the end of regulation or 1OT, and one of the threes at the end of the Finals game 6), the Heat would have had a long win streak of 15 and no title last year. Even with a long season and long playoffs, it can be that close.

The Spurs streak is all wins by 5+ points. The Heat last year only won 10 in a row by 5+.

Tonight's point-spread has jumped from 8 to 10.
