With Game 3 of the NBA Finals going to the Heat, 91-85, whats left to do now before Game 4 on Tuesday night is to go over what happened Saturday night between both teams. Ben Golliver of SB Nation posted a video doing a brief recap of Sunday's game and looking at some of the decisions made by the Oklahoma City Thunder that raised an eyebrow.
His specific point was the fact that the Thunder opted to keep Russell Westbrook on the the bench, replacing him with Derek Fisher. Considering that he went three-for-eight from the field, two-for-three from three point range, had no assists and was -9 to Westbrook's +3, it is a little curious that Fisher got the time that he did. James Harden struggles in the game, shooting two-for-10 and Kevin Durant's struggles, four points in the fourth quarter, were huge contributing factors in Oklahoma City's loss.
On the Miami side, he talked about how guard LeBron James has just taken over in a large way since the Heat fell behind the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Over the last month of games, James has averaged about 33 points and 11 rebounds per game and is putting the Heat on his shoulders in the Finals.
Game 4 is scheduled for 9:00 p.m. on Tuesday night. The game will again be broadcast on ABC.
