The Miami Heat fired back with vengeance in Game 4 as big performances from their "Big Three" helped secure a 109-93 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday night.
"It was on our shoulders," the Heat's LeBron James said. "We had to figure out how to win the game for us and play at the highest level. When all three of us are clicking, we're very tough to beat."
James had 33 points and 11 rebounds after failing to score 20 points in the first three previous games of the series. And although his numbers were impressive, it was the numbers of Dwyane Wade that were the surprise of the night as he scored 32 points, 11 points more than his previous high this postseason.
"It was all about myself, Chris and LeBron coming out and leading this team to a victory," Wade said.
"The thing we talked about is we all have to make an impact in this game, somehow, some way."
Wade shot 14-of-25, adding six steals, six rebounds and four assists in a performance that James compared to when Wade was MVP of the 2006 Finals.
Miami forward Chris Bosh matched his playoff high with 20 points and grabbed 13 rebounds.
The three stars combined for 85 of the Heat's overall points.
"When Bosh, Wade and James score the way they did tonight and shoot it the way they did tonight, a team is going to have a difficult time if you help them like we did," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said.
"When those guys are playing like that, you better be playing a perfect game."
Below are video highlights of the Heat's strong Game 4 performance, making Game 5 on Sunday a must see.
