2012 NBA Finals - Game Three Goes To Miami Heat

2012 NBA Finals - Game Three Result
Today's 2012 NBA Finals Game Three went to the Miami Heat after defeating the Oklahoma City Thunder, 91-85.

Forward LeBron James led Heat with 29 points and 14 rebounds, as the Heat rallied from a 10-point, third-quarter deficit to capture the victory. Guard Dwyane Wade added 25 points, seven rebounds and seven assists.

"I think we only shot 30 percent, but we built up some toughness now that we can find different ways to win" Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "We didn't have a lot of offensive possession in the second half, but we had enough stops, enough timely scores."

The Heat won despite shooting just 37 percent from the field, but they made up for the difference at the foul line, making 31 of 35 free throws.

The Thunder were led by Kevin Durant's 25 points and six rebounds.

"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," said Thunder coach Scott Brooks.

The Heat now lead the series 2-1.

Game Four of the NBA Finals will be held on Tuesday (Wednesday morning Manila Time) at AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami, Florida.
