The San Antonio Spurs thrashed the Miami Heat, 113-77, in Game 3 of the NBA Finals to take a 2-1 series lead on Tuesday night.
While Miami looked lethargic and wandered aimlessly on offense, San Antonio hustled from end-to-end. The Spurs won the battle on the boards by a margin of 16, and pulled down a staggering 19 offensive rebounds.
Unlike the Heat, the Spurs thrived in the half court. San Antonio hit on 48.9 percent of their field goals and bombed away from beyond the arc en route to 16 three-pointers, a Finals record.
After ripping down eight offensive rebounds in Game 2, Kawhi Leonard hauled in three in Game 3, and 12 total rebounds in the win.
Leonard continues to make a name for himself, not only on the glass, but with stellar defense on LeBron James. For the third straight game, James failed to break through the 20-point threshold, and was limited to 15 points (on 7-of-21 shooting), 11 rebounds, five assists and two steals.
Stabilizing the Spurs' offense for the second game in a row was Danny Green, who converted on 7-of-9 threes en route to a game-high 27 points.
