After three games of a dream NBA Finals matchup, the one thing that fans can be assured of is that they are getting their money’s worth. The two most talented teams in the NBA have shown stretches throughout of the three games showcasing their incredible talents. Winning their first home game, the Heat have taken a 2-1 edge in the series, but don’t expect this contest to swing any one way yet.
The lead-up to the crucial Game 4 will now be the make-or-break moment for the OKC Thunder’s season. A win puts them level 2-2 with Miami and brings the home court advantage back to Oklahoma City. A loss puts them in a 3-1 hole with Miami having one more home game in hand and just one more win away from winning a championship.
For an event as massive and crucial as the NBA Finals, it’s the smallest of details that decide the difference between soaking in victory champagne or wallowing over a depressing loss over the long off-season that follows. Crucial offensive rebounds by Chris Bosh. A late three-pointer as the shot clock expires by Russell Westbrook. Nick Collison’s work on the offensive boards. Shane Battier finding his three-point range. Dwyane Wade's steal in the last minute. And of course, crucial plays by the biggest stars – LeBron and Durant – which will go a long way in deciding which one of the two phenomenal young talents wins a championship ring first.
