The San Antonio Spurs avenged their Game 2 loss by giving the Miami Heat a taste of their own medicine in Game 3 \u2014 and then some.<\/p>\n
The Spurs stomped Miami to the tune of 113-77, one of the biggest routs in NBA Finals history.<\/p>\n
LeBron James<\/strong>, who has been passive all series long, took full responsibility for the Heat\u2019s loss (after scoring just 15 points on 7-of-21 shooting), and told the media that he has to play better if the defending champions are going to have any hope of winning.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve got to just play better,\u201d James <\/strong>said. \u201cI can\u2019t have a performance like that and expect to win. I\u2019ve got to shoot the ball better. I\u2019ve got to make better decisions, and I will get into the film and see ways that I can do that. I\u2019m not putting blame on anybody. I\u2019m owning everything that I did tonight.\u201d […] He wound up 7-for-21, had one offensive rebound, blocked no shots, logged five assists and is averaging 16.3 points so far in The Finals. Oh, and he didn\u2019t shoot even one free throw. The four-time MVP did something that hadn\u2019t happened to him in the playoffs since 2007 and in a game \u2014 period \u2014 since 2009. \u201cI went a whole game without shooting a free throw, to show you where my game was tonight,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve got to be better. It\u2019s that simple,\u201d he said postgame for the third or fourth time in a span of six minutes. \u201cIf I\u2019m better, we\u2019re better. And I\u2019ve got to be better. I\u2019m putting everything on my chest, on my shoulders. I\u2019ve got to be better. It\u2019s that simple. My teammates are doing a good job, and I\u2019m not doing my part.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The San Antonio Spurs avenged their Game 2 loss by giving the Miami Heat a taste of their own medicine in Game 3 \u2014 and then some.
