Miami's big lineup's rebound control vs. Clippers' paint zone defense: As pointed out by the Sun Sentinel, the biggest deciding factor is whether Miami, which has shown ups and downs in rebounding despite its great height, will be able to regain air superiority against Isaiah Jackson and Hachimura's goals.
2. Darius Garland's 4th quarter clutch operation: Attention is being paid to whether the Clippers, whose losing streak was prolonged due to a lack of backbone in the second half, can end the close game with Garland's two-man game and tempo control.
