MANILA, Philippines – The San Antonio Spurs used a near-perfect offensive performance in the first half to thwart the Miami Heat, 111-92, in Game 3 of the NBA Finals on Tuesday, June 10 (Wednesday Manila time) and take a 2-1 lead of the best-of-7 series.
Kawhi Leonard was a force for San Antonio with 29 points, burying Miami deep in a 25-point hole before the Heat stormed back in the third and sliced the deficit to 7, 81-74.
However, a Marco Belinelli triple shortly after promptly deflated Miami’s spirited rally as the Spurs ran away with the win in the fourth.
The Spurs dominated the Heat in their homecourt at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, Florida to bounce back from a two-point 98-96 Game 2 loss at home, which leveled the series. San Antonio drew first blood in the series with a dominant Tim Duncan performance.
Miami will look to recover as they play their second game at home on Friday, June 13 for Game 4.
