The Betting Corner: NBA Finals Game 3 Jun 11, 2013

Miami Heat @ San Antonio Spurs 9PM (ET) ABC

(Series Tied 1-1)

Game 3, which determines who wins the series 90+% of the time, will be one for the ages. For one team in this bout, this will be the game that turns the tide and places them one step closer to the championship. With the Heat and Spurs both tied at one a piece, this game will be a battle. For the Heat to take the firm grip back in this series, they must get production from the Big 3 (mainly Bosh and Wade) and continue to have Allen, Miller, and Haslem to provide a secondary scoring option as they did in game 2. For the Spurs, they need to have Parker to continue his inside penetration and either have Green or Splitter to step up and provide balance to the Spurs superstar play. The keys to tonight’s game will be who controls the turnover battle and the boards. Although the game is shifting back to San Antonio and a potential momentum swing back in the Spurs favor, I see this game going down to the wire. Quoting Brian Windhorst,”there is something about Miami in game 3s on the road. They won against Indiana, Chicago, and Milwaukee this postseason”. With that said I’ll take the points on the road.
