MIAMI -- Maybe in a video game. Oscar Lindberg Jersey . Possibly in the pregame layup line. But shoot this way in the NBA Finals, against the two-time defending champions? "Its not something you can plan for," San Antonio reserve Manu Ginobili said. "There was no magic plays. We just moved the ball and every shot went in." Not quite every shot. But just about. Kawhi Leonard scored a career-high 29 points, and the Spurs made a finals-record 75.8 per cent of their shots in the first half in a 111-92 victory over the Miami Heat on Tuesday night that gave them a 2-1 lead. The Spurs made 19 of their first 21 shots and finished 25 of 33 in the first half, bettering the 75 per cent shooting by Orlando against the Lakers in the 2009 finals. "Its a hit-or-miss league," Miamis Dwyane Wade said. The Spurs didnt do much missing. "I dont think well ever shoot 76 per cent in a half ever again," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. The Spurs led by as much as 25 and were only briefly challenged in their second lopsided victory in the series. LeBron James and Dwyane Wade had 22 points for the Heat, who host Game 4 on Thursday. Returning to the arena where they were oh-so-close to winning a fifth championship last year, the Spurs came out playing like they were trying to build a lead that was impossible to blow. They shot 13 of 15 and led 41-25 lead after the first quarter, then hit their first six shots of the second in front of a stunned crowd in Miami to go ahead 55-30. Leonard scored only 18 points in the first two games, looking frustrated while getting into foul trouble trying to defend James in Game 2. But he had his outside shot working early, making his first six shots and finishing 10 of 13 from the field. "I just found a rhythm and my teammates found me the ball. I made shots," Leonard said. The last three NBA seasons ended in this building, the last two followed by Heat championship parades. The Spurs nearly cancelled the last one, building a five-point lead in the final half-minute of regulation of Game 6, a title seeming so certain that workers were already making preparations around the court. But the Heat rallied to win in overtime and took Game 7, leaving the Spurs with a summer to think about the one that got away. Theyre in good shape to get another chance. With the league scrapping the 2-3-2 format for the NBA Finals --in which the lower seed played three consecutive home games -- the Spurs would have a chance to wrap it up in San Antonio on Sunday in Game 5 if they can win Thursday. Chris Bosh took only four shots and scored nine points for the Heat, who for the second straight year will have to overcome a 2-1 finals deficit after being blown out in Game 3. This rout came on their home floor, where they had been 8-0 this post-season and had won a franchise-record 11 in a row since the Spurs beat them in Game 1 last year. San Antonio inserted Boris Diaw into the lineup, countering Miamis small lineup and creating more ball movement that clearly helped Leonard. The game got off to a crisp start, with the Spurs making their first five shots and Miami opening 4 for 4. Turned out the Spurs were just getting started. Coach Erik Spoelstra planned to communicate with James to make sure there were no lingering problems from the cramps that forced him to miss the final minutes of the opener. But there was no way he could rest James early, since he was the only one keeping the Heat in the game. He had 14 of their first 20 points, but even James couldnt keep up with the Spurs pace. 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," Spoelstra said. San Antonio led 71-50 at halftime. It was the first 70-point first half in the finals since the Lakers scored 75 against Boston in Game 2 in 1987. The Heat finally got into it in the third, running off 10 straight points to cut a 17-point deficit to 81-74 on a drive by Norris Cole, who had replaced an ineffective Mario Chalmers. That was as close as Miami would get, as the Spurs pulled away in the fourth. Notes: Wade appeared in his 150th post-season game and passed Dirk Nowitzki (3,455 points) for 17th on the post-season scoring list. ... The Heat fell to 68-20 in the post-season at American Airlines Arena. Their .782 winning percentage entering the game trailed only the Lakers .792 mark at Staples Center. Pierre-Edouard Bellemare Jersey . On paper, it looks a little like Andre the Giant taking on a midget wrestler. It has all the makings of a rout with the Americans adding an eighth win in nine outings of this biennial event. The Yanks have eight players in the top 15 in the world while the Internationals have just one. Brandon Pirri Jersey . -- Canada played to expectation up until halftime. http://www.officialgoldenknightsfanstore.com/ryan-carpenter-golden-knights-jersey-c-51/ . -- Olympic medallist Jennifer Abel of Laval, Que.Motherwell boss Mark McGhee has been named Scottish Premiership manager of the month for March. McGhee, who took over at Fir Park from Ian Baraclough last October, has guided his side into fourth place in the table following five successive victories.The run, part of six wins from their last seven matches, is in stark contrast to this time last year when they languished bottom of the table and only preserved their top-flight status with a 6-1 aggregate drubbing of Rangers in the end-of-season play-offs. Speaking to Sky Sports News HQ, the former Celtic and Aberdeen striker, who also won the award in December, said: In February we had a lot of games where we lost when we should have drawn and drawn when we should have won. McGhee has led Motherwell to six wins in last seven games But we just kept going, kept doing the same things and now we are getting the breaks. On Saturday we scored a 93rd-minute winner (against Inverness) and those are the breaks we werent getting a few weeks ago.Motherwell were lying in ninth place in the table when McGhee took over but he refuses to take all the credit for the clubs remarkable rise over the winter months. Marvin Johnsons injury time winner against Inverness last weekend Staying in the top four until the end of the season would be credit to everyone at the club, not just me. Shea Theodore Jersey. Les Hutchison (owner) has backed me, the players have worked so, so hard, my staff behind the scenes, the medical staff, everyone, they have got the boys fitter, theyve got the boys stronger and theyve got the boys believing.And we have some good players. You dont win games without having good players Motherwells unbeaten run will be tested by SPFL leaders Celtic at the weekend but McGhee is refusing to rule out a repeat of the 2-1 victory over Ronny Deilas side at Celtic Park earlier in the season.You are always up against it when you play them, he said. But Celtic games are just games youve got to enjoy and we will go into the game trying to win it.We beat Aberdeen a couple of weeks ago and we will be doing everything we possibly can to keep this run going.Raith Rovers boss Ray McKinnon was named Ladbrokes Championship manager of the month for March.The Kirkcaldy club played seven games last month, winning five of them and suffering just one defeat, to all but seal a play-off place.
