And just like that, Miami ties it halfway into the 2nd quarter.
Damn, I hate these runs......

Seems like OKC can never pull away properly, they gain a lead but then can't maintain the gap, but then we should give some credit to Miami cos' they've fought hard to stay in this game. Westbrook has been spectacular tonight, hoping Durant is just waiting in the wings (like some kind of velociraptor lol) to pick up the slack if Westbrook can't maintain this pace. If Durant has a big 4th quarter I think OKC are taking it. Crossing my fingers too dude! Amazing how close this series has been, the playoffs have really been exciting this post-season, regardless of how things work out.

You know..... I think I'm gonna have to (grudgingly) start giving LeBron some credit also. The guy seems determined to win this series one way or another. He's not missing free throws... and today he's driving to the basket and either making some incredible layups, or passing to the open man for the 3-pointer. Meanwhile, I'm becoming less and less impressed by Durant. I know he's super-young, but he's beginning to pale in comparison with LeBron. And yeah..... Westbrook's on fire. I've never seen anyone so damn quick! But man..... it gets under my skin to see an NBA team rip off a 17-pt lead in the 1st quarter, only to give it up in only half of the following quarter. I hope you're right about Durant about his "waiting in the wings". So far I'm not that impressed. Let's hope he stays out of foul trouble tonight.

I think the way he played whilst in foul trouble the last two games has dented his confidence a bit, but Durant is class, and as they say, form is temporary but class is permanent. I jus hope he gets it back in time to help his team reign in the Miami machine, cos' right now James is helping them grind through the gears, he has been imperious this evening, almost recorded a triple double with a quarter left to play. The one thing that is frustrating me right now is that OKC can't seem to get a call, it seems to be happening with increasing frequency during the last 2 games. I'm not trying to take anything away from the heat, just seems like if it's a 50/50 Miami get it and the last quarter OKC have been ignored on the offensive end and punished for what was effectively good defence, especially with regard to the James/Harden face-off.

3rd quarter's over and Heat are up by 4. I'm not feeling very optimistic. On one particular play the commentator called the Thunder on not getting back quickly after a Westbrook jumper... and Wade drove at the other end, and Westbrook himself had to foul Wade. Commentator said Thunder is dragging... and it looks like that way to me. Maybe they're getting tired. I hope not. This is a critical quarter. If the Heat win the game, I'm afraid the series will not go back to OKC. Miami will then close them out in 5. Oh well...... here goes.

Harden has been so careless with the ball driving to the basket. As impressive as James has been Westbrook has been incredible, carrying the OKC and at such a tender age, with such little experience. Hope OKC can pull it together - if they keep it close anything can happen at the close, that's what makes basketball so exciting, and OKC have been masters of the comeback win this post-season so we can't write them off just yet.

DAMN IT!! OKC can't buy a 3-pointer....... and the Heat don't miss any. This doesn't look good. I don't like Chalmers and that silly grin of his. He looks like Arsenio Hall.
