After a malfunctioning air conditioning unit caused temperatures to skyrocket at the AT&T Center in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, many wondered if it would be an issue once again for Game 2.

More from Miami Heat

This is to be expected, though. Considering the controversy that arose from Game 1 after LeBron James of the Miami Heat was forced to sit late in the fourth quarter with severe cramps, I seriously doubt the NBA would have tolerated the A/C not working for a second-straight game.

Several members of the media have confirmed on Twitter that the A/C is in fact operating and functional, at least prior to tipoff.

It's a comfortable 70 degrees in AT&T Center right now. Still keeping my eyes peeled for snakes, tho... pic.twitter.com/fyQI6xeAqv

Sixty-seven degrees inside AT&T Center (no word yet on whether the Heat therefore will opt to play in sleeves).

I can report that the AT&T Center air conditioning is in fine working order.

Five minutes at the ATT and my face is not melting off. Huge improvement from Game 1.
