If you know a Miami Heat fan, you should probably check on them today. SMH. What happened last night?! That’s what you call a true Molly Whop!
Danny Green and Gary Neal combined for 51 points and 13 3-pointers to lead the Spurs to a 113-77 win over the Heat in Game 3. LeBron James even skipped the podium and spoke to the media at his locker.
Check out the recap & videos after the jump…
Via ESPN:
Danny Green and Gary Neal aren’t NBA royalty like LeBron James.
Either undrafted or unwanted, they once were more likely to be found playing in summer league or some other country than against the mighty Miami Heat.
On Tuesday, they led the San Antonio Spurs to one of the biggest blowouts in NBA Finals history.
Green made seven of the Spurs’ Finals-record 16 3-pointers, Tim Duncan had 12 points and 14 rebounds, and the Spurs clobbered the Heat 113-77 on Tuesday night to take a 2-1 lead in the series.
Green scored 27 points and Neal made six 3-pointers while scoring 24 as San Antonio went 16-of-32 from behind the arc, rolling to the third-biggest victory in Finals history.
“Those guys shot incredibly,” Duncan said. “Gave us the breathing room when we needed it.”
Neal could be even more important going forward, after starting point guard Tony Parker revealed fresh concerns about his sore hamstring. He plans to get an MRI on Wednesday.
Duncan bounced back from his worst game ever in the Finals, and the Spurs’ combination of fresh faces and old reliables dominated the NBA’s winningest team before an eager crowd that hadn’t seen the Finals here since 2007.

LeBron:
James finished with 15 points and 11 rebounds but missed 11 of his first 13 shots against the excellent defense of Kawhi Leonard, who had 14 points and 12 rebounds.
“Honestly, I just have to play better,” James said. “I can’t have a performance like tonight and expect to win.”
