The Miami Heat regained their composure in Game 4 of the NBA Finals, avenging a Game 3 slaughter at the hands of the San Antonio Spurs and evening the series at two games each. Tonight at 8:00 p.m., the Spurs will try to secure a pivotal Game 5 victory that will leave them one game away from Tim Duncan's fifth NBA title. The game will be televised on ABC and can be live streamed here. Heat fans can listen to the game on 560 WQAM while Spurs fans can do likewise on 1200 WOAI.
Dwyane Wade looked like the version of himself once nicknamed "Flash" that won a 2006 championship with Shaquille O'Neal. Taking advantage of San Antonio hiding Tiago Splitter on him, Wade torched the Spurs to the tune of 32 points on 14-of-25 shooting.
He had a LeBron James-like impact in the other categories as well, recording six rebounds, six steals and four assists. "It was all about myself, Chris and LeBron coming out and leading this team to a victory," Wade said. Indeed it was. LeBron scored 33 points to go with 11 rebounds four assists, two steals and two blocks, while Chris Bosh bounced back from Game 3 with a 20-point, 13-rebound outing.
Meanwhile, Spurs point guard Tony Parker entered Game 4 with a tweaked hamstring. He had 15 points and nine assists, and the effect of the hamstring injury wasn't clear. He said that it bothered him a little bit in the second half, but he's looking to be 100 percent for tonight.
"It was kind of weak," Parker said. "I didn't know what to expect. So the first three, four minutes I was testing it, and the first half it felt OK. And the second half I think I got fatigued a little bit. But overall I'm just happy I didn't make it worse.
