Finals Tied, US Open All Wet



Miami’s Big 3 Ties the NBA Finals
- Lead by Lebron James’ 33 points and 11 rebounds, and Dewayne Wade’s 32 points the Miami Heat defeated the San Antonio Spurs 109-93 to avenge a massive defeat in game 3. The two best Heat were aided by Chris Bosh’s 20 points. Bosh’s points overstate his offensive contribution, which was pretty dismal. However, Bosh’s defense, along with the defense of all the other Heat was the big story here.
- A game after Danny Green and Gary Neal exploded for a combined 52 points, the Heat held the two role players to 23 points, making sure that the two of them didn’t get too many open 3-point shots. The Heat were aided by a relatively poor game by Tony Parker. Parker, who’s contribution to the game was in doubt two days ago due to a hamstring injury only put up 15 points and 9 assists, a fine game but not the overwhelming game needed.
- Tim Duncan lead the way for the Spurs with 20 points. Game 5 will be Sunday night in San Antonio, and we know that the series will go back to Miami for a game 6 on Tuesday, and a potential game 7 on Thursday.


Donald leads at U.S. Open
- Luke Donald is the early leader at the U.S. Open, which is being held at the Merion Golf Club, right outside of Philadelphia this year. Donald, who sits at -4, only completed 13 holes before play was suspended due to bad weather.
- Phil Mickelson, who has finished second at the U.S. Open is one stroke behind, despite not making it to the course until early Thursday morning because he had been in California to attend his daughter's 8th grade graduation.
- Tiger Woods is +2 after 10 holes and looked to have possible injured his hand on the opening hole although when asked about it he denied that thought and claimed that he was completely fine. Woods has won the U.S. Open 3 times, most recently in 2008.
