Spurs TakeOver

Game 3 took San Antonio into a Finals record of 16 three-pointers on 32 attempts to take a 2-1 series lead over Miami.  The Spurs went into a 13-4 run in the second quarter with 4:22 left on the clock.  The half ended with the Spurs up 50-44 points…shooting 46.3% from the field.  Moving into the second half of the game, the Spurs began to dominate the lead and shutting down the Big 3 with 0 points in the third quarter with 4:25 remaining.  The Spurs played a great range of basketball as they competed on the boards…out-rebounding the Heat.  Into the fourth quarter…the Spurs led 78 to 63 and the upset only got worst as the score board changed into a 30 point difference in the ball game.  The Heat just couldn’t keep the match burning to compete with the same intensity as the Spurs as they finished 113 to 77.  The Spurs accumulated 21 more points to the score board than the Heat. 

In 25 Finals game in franchise history…they have never trailed in a series and they set the largest margin of defeat in the Heat’s post season franchise history.  Danny Green had the best overall performance as he reached his playoff career high of 27 points (7-9 3pt FG) and four rebounds.  He just couldn’t miss as he proved that he is one of the best three-point shooters in the league.  He states before Game 2…”It has been like a roller-coaster.  There was so much that happened but these past two years has been a blessing.”

He took advantage of his ability and showed the world that he could be the playoffs MVP. 

Then on Thursday night, Game 4 was hosted again on the Spurs home court but they couldn’t keep the Heat off of them.  “Lebron James (33 points), Dewayne Wade (32) and Chris Bosh (20) combined for 85 of the Heat’s 109 pints while shooting 57.8% from the field.”  The Big 3 were back in effect as they had something to prove to their fans.  The series is now back tied 2-2…stay tuned for Game 5 on Sunday 7:00 pm central time.
