The San Antonio Spurs handed down a hiding in Game 3 last night, leaving the Miami Heat to eat dust in a first-half where they hit a record 75.8% of their shots.
That 25-for-33 return — the highest in NBA Finals history — set them up for 111-92 win and edged them back in front with a 2-1 series lead.
More importantly, by winning on the road, they regained the home court advantage they let slip when the Heat won Game 2 in San Antonio on Sunday.
“There was no magic plays,” Spurs star Manu Ginobli said afterwards. “We just moved the ball, and every shot went in.”
Here’s the shooting chart from that remarkable first half:
