The Heat are in big trouble heading to San Antonio for game 5. Not only are they down 3-1 but they looked so bad on their home floor it is hard to imagine that they are going to be able to beat the Spurs three games in a row to claim a third straight championship.
There was definitely no hangover for the Spurs as they had one of the best first halfs in NBA playoff history in game three. They have a little back in the third but a strong 4th quarter essentially maintained that lead.
The Miami Heat host the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday night in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. The Spurs are coming off a big win in Game 3 of the series in which they enjoyed a historic shooting night en route to a 111-92 victory.
Game two was close but ultimately a loss for the Spurs who had no answer for LeBron James down the stretch.
The Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs will be back in action on Tuesday evening as the NBA Finals shifts to South Beach for Game 3. LeBron James was back in fine form in the second game, shutting up his critics with a dynamic performance.
Game one was pretty close until the Heat just couldn’t keep up in the fourth quarter. Certainly depth is a factor when that happens and we all knew that Miami was the team for whom that might be a real problem in this series.
Its a Finals rematch but given the teams involved and how last season played out that is hardly the worst thing in the world. Miami has taken care of business series by series and really never been in much danger throughout these playoffs.
The San Antonio Spurs and Miami Heat will meet in the NBA Finals for the second year in a row beginning on Thursday. The two teams took part in an epic Finals a year ago with the Heat prevailing in seven games to win their second title in as many years.
