San Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker (9) shoots against the Miami Heat in their Game 4 of the NBA finals, Thursday, June 12, 2014, in Miami.MIAMI – The San Antonio Spurs have three more chances to grab the championship trophy that slipped away last year.
The way they’re dominating the Miami Heat, they might need just one.
Kawhi Leonard had 20 points and 14 rebounds, and the Spurs routed the Heat again, winning 107-86 on Thursday night to open a commanding 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals.
The Spurs can win their fifth NBA championship with a victory at home in Game 5 on Sunday and avenge their seven-game loss to Miami last year. And if the Heat are going to deny them again, it will take the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history.
LeBron James tried to keep the Heat in it with 28 points and eight rebounds, but Dwyane Wade was just 1 of 10 through three quarters and finished with 10 points.
