KAWHI LEONARD GOES OFF IN GAME 3 OF THE NBA FINALS

If you didn’t know better you would have thought you were watching a video game. The Spurs shot the lights out of American Airlines arena on Tuesday night securing a 111-92 victory and taking a 2-1 lead in the NBA Finals. “It’s not something you can plan for,” Spurs’ Manu Ginobili said. “There was no magic plays. We just moved the ball, and every shot went in.” Kawhi Leonard had a career-high 29 points to carry the Spurs and the Heat wouldn’t get as close as 17 after the Spurs took a 71-50 at halftime. The Spurs “came out at a different gear than what we were playing at, and it just seemed we were on our heels the most part of the first half,” Heat coach Spoelstra said.
