NBA Finals: OKC Thunder v Miami Heat, Game 3 – Miami win 91 – 85 to lead series (video)

The Thunder went to Miami and once it again it was all about Kevin Durant and LeBron James with both scoring 25 and 29 points respectively. HOwever LeBron James’ partner in crime Dwayne Wade came good with 25 points and 7 rebounds as he helped the heat to the win at home.

The Heat were shooting at only 37% the whole game but it was the free throws that punished OKC thunder, with the Heat scoring 31 out of 35. Heat coach Erik SPoelstra: “I think we only shot 30 percent, but we built up some toughness now that we can find different ways to win … We didn’t have a lot of offensive possession in the second half, but we had enough stops, enough timely scores.”

Thunder coach Scott Brooks: “Well Kevin got four fouls. We fouled too many times. They got to the free throw line 35 times, we got to the free throw line 24 times. We’ve got to do a better job defending them without fouling.”
