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.
The San Antonio Spurs host the Miami Heat on Sunday evening in the second game of the NBA Finals. The Spurs claimed the opener in the series, just as they did a year ago, and look to take an early stranglehold on the series with a second consecutive win on their home court.
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.
The San Antonio Spurs and Miami Heat will begin the NBA Finals on Thursday in San Antonio with Game 1. The teams met in the NBA Finals a year ago with the Heat prevailing in seven games. The Heat look to win again this year in what would be their third consecutive title victory.
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.
It was another lopsided win for the Spurs in G5 at home. Their shooting touch came back in a big way and now they are definitely in control of the series as it head back to OKC. The problem is that in two games on the road in this series they have been a completely different team.
Oklahoma City has worked this to a three game series after back to back wins at home. It has been an amazing turnaround given how soundly they were beaten in game two, so much so I am not sure you can put it all on the return of Serge Ibaka.
The Spurs were in complete control of the series after dominating in G2 but they were not ready for the surge they would face with the return of Serge Ibaka to the Thunder lineup.
San Antonio is looking like they are going to breeze back into NBA Finals after two games at home.
The Thunder were showing signs that the loss of Serge Ibaka is going to be a big one. Not only did they lose game one, the first loss to San Antonio all season long, they looked soft in the middle, something that is going to be hard to correct over the course of the series.
The Thunder won a spirited series against the Clippers. They are definitely one of the top teams in the West but this group has yet to reach the very top of the mountain.
