With series tied, what to watch in Game 3 of the NBA Finals

The Heat and Spurs were tied again last year after Game 2, with the Heat feeling they could’ve won both games.

San Antonio blitzed them from there, winning both games in Miami easily before wrapping it up in Game 5 at home.

“You know, we’re going to come in with an aggressive mindset defensively and offensively,” James said after Game 2.

His Heat rallied to win the series in 2013 after dropping Game 3 to the Spurs, but lost to Dallas in 2011 after being ahead 2-1.

PASS THE BALL: The Warriors had only 16 assists in Game 2 after finishing with 24 in Game 1, and they know they need to be closer to the latter number for their offense to click.

MIGHTY MOZGOV: Timofey Mozgov averaged 16.5 points and 9.0 rebounds in the first two games, outplaying counterpart Andrew Bogut, but was on the bench for much of the latter part of Game 2.

MISFIRING MVP: Stephen Curry is 15 for 43 in the series, but after shooting 5 of 23 in Game 2, knows his shot can start falling in Cleveland.
