San Antonio Spurs vs Miami Heat Live Stream Free: Watch NBA Finals 2014 Game 4 Online (ABC TV Schedule)
The San Antonio Spurs will play the Miami Heat in Game 4 of the NBA Finals 2014 series. Miami need to shake off Game 3 and quick. After leaving San Antonio in Game 2 with the series at 1-1 many had thought the Heat could use home court advantage to take control of the series. However, they crumbled in Game 3 and now enter Game 4 at 1-2. Tonight's game will start at 9 p.m. ET and can be watched on TV on the ABC network or online through free live stream (details below).
The Miami Heat dare not lose another game tonight at the AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami, Florida. If they do they will have to travel back to San Antonio for Game 5 being 1-3 down, needing to win three straight must-win games to retain their NBA title.
Miami's defense was MIA for large portions of Game 3, especially in the first quarter when they allowed an amazing 41 points through. Things did improve, but the 30 points leaked in the second period will also be many more than is comfortable for them to accept.
The game was lost in the first half of Game 3 for the Heat, and Miami did just about manage to win the second half (42-40), but there was simply too much to do following their collapse in the first two periods of the game.
They have to get their defense together and fast, and cannot afford to start off Game 4 with such a lapse in defense as they did on Tuesday night.
San Antonio made 19 of its first 21 shots and shot a finals-record 75.8 percent in the first half in the 111-92 victory.
However, the Spurs have been here before. Last year they also blew out the Heat in Game 3 to go 2-1 up. However, LeBron James then led a revived Heat team to an astonishing comeback as Miami won the series and the Championship.
"You're always on edge in the postseason, but I don't want to be concerned at this point," James has said. "For us, we have to make the adjustments."
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich has also played down any comparisons to last season: "I don't think about last year at all at this point. I don't think about last year Game 3, Game 4, at all. This is a different animal and I'm just concerned about the game tomorrow night."
