Shane Battier provides three-point shooting — and subtle touches — to help lift Miami Heat in Game 5

palmbeachpost.com — Shane Battier doesn't spray powder. He smacks it on his hands just once, down near his waist, and lets it fall neatly to the floor. He doesn't regale the crowd with spectacular pre-game slams. Rather, before entering the game, he bends his knees and spreads his legs as he hops off his feet three times, not for show as much as circulation.
