MIA (1) @ SAS (2) – NBA Finals - Game 3
The Spurs won game 3 at home, smashing the Heat by 36pts for the 3rd biggest win in Finals history, and also giving the Heat their biggest loss in Heat playoff history. The Spurs set a Finals record with 16 3-pters, shooting 16-of-32. Miami went on a 12-1 run to tie the game with 37sec left in the 2nd qtr, only to give up a 3-pter by Parker. On the next possession Green blocked Lebron and Gary Neal hit a 3-pter at the buzzer to give the Spurs a 6pt lead. Lebron made 4 shots in a row in the 3rd qtr, but a dunk by Splitter with 0.1sec left in the 3rd qtr gave the Spurs a 15pt lead. The Spurs opened the 4th qtr with a 13-0 run, and led by as many as 37pts.
Spurs' Danny Green hit 7 3-pters for 27pts in 30min, whilst Gary Neal hit 6 3-pters for 24pts in 25min. Parker left the game at the end of the first half with a sore hamstring. Heats' Wade had a team-high 16pts, and Lebron had 15pts, 11reb on a dismal 7-of-21 field goals with no free throw attempts, after starting 2-of-13 from the field. Mike Miller scored 15pts after connecting on all 5 3-pt attempts, and is 9-of-10 3-pters in the series, making his last 8 3-pters in a row. Mario Chalmers who had a game-high 19pts in game 2 finished with 0pts and 4 turnovers.
The Spurs outrebounded the Heat 52-36, 19-9 on offensive rebounds. Games 4 and 5 will be hosted in San Antonio, and the Heat will need to win at least 1 road game in order to return back home for a game 6 in Miami. Since 1985, the winner of game 3 with the series tied 1-1 has won the championship 12 out of 13 times. The only team that didn't was Miami back in 2011 against Dallas, the first year the Miami's "big 3" (James/Wade/Bosh) played together.
