ALLAN THE MAN

The San Antonio Spurs but a thumping on the Miami on Tuesday night, giving the Heat their first home loss of the 2014 NBA Playoffs while taking a 2-1 series lead with a dominating win, 111-92.

San Antonio's first half was a history-making affair. The Spurs scored 71 points on their way to the best shooting performance at 75.8 percent, setting a Finals record for shooting in a half. Kawhi Leonard was everywhere, scoring a career-high 16 points on 5-of-5 shooting in the first quarter alone. But the Heat came roaring back, playing tough defense throughout the third period. Miami made a big push even as LeBron James sat on the bench, allowing the Spurs to score just 15 points as coach Erik Spoelstra sat struggling guard Mario Chalmers.

He later confirmed the news on his official Twitter account, thanking his supporters, but also adding, "Stay tuned."

The Miami Heat clinched their second successive National Basketball (NBA) championship on Thursday (Friday in Manila), beating the San Antonio Spurs 95-88 in the decisive seventh game of an epic series.
