MIAMI -- Maybe in a video game. 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.

With the European transfer window opening up again on January 1, TSN.ca takes a daily look around the soccer world at the latest rumours and reports heading into what is sure to be another busy period of transactions. Dutch Devil? Manchester United has been attached to Netherlands international midfielder Wesley Sneijder for the better part of the last decade, but The Daily Mail reports that the 30-year-olds move to Old Trafford could finally be in the offing. With his Turkish side Galatasaray struggling with financial issues, Sneijder could be one of the high profile players sold by the Istanbul club as a means to shed debt. The allure of United would be obvious for Sneijder, who would be afforded the chance to again play under his former national manager in Louis van Gaal. The former Real Madrid and Inter man has been with Galatasaray since January 2013 and reports of him being unsettled in Turkey have been numerous over the past two years. United wouldnt be alone in their pursuit of the ￡9 million-rated Sneijder, though. Southampton, with another manager with whom Sneijder is also familiar in Ronald Koeman, are also reportedly interested in the player with an eye to solidify their run for a European place next season. In 12 league games this season, Sneijder has three goals. Galatasaray sits second in the table, one point behind leaders Besiktas. Got heem? Add Bayern Munich to the list of teams interested in Liverpool winger Raheem Sterling. The 20-year-old England internationals future has come into question as of late with the Reds yet to secure him with a long-term contract extension and reported suitors Real Madrid and Chelsea waiting in the wings. Bild (in German) reports that Pep Guardiolas side views Sterlingg as a Plan B to Borussia Dortmunds Marco Reus.dddddddddddd The German international reportedly has a ￡20 million release clause that Bayern intends to meet this summer, but Dortmund would be loath to deal with their German rivals, especially after losing star striker Robert Lewandowski to the Bundesliga champions on a free this past offseason and Mario Goetze the season before. Reus, himself, could refuse a move to Bayern out of loyalty to Dortmund and instead move outside of the Bundesliga with the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Real Madrid having previously shown interest. With Luis Suarezs move to Barcelona, a series of injuries to Daniel Sturridge and Mario Balotellis goal-less drought, Liverpool has been, perhaps, overly reliant on Sterling to produce offence this season, something that the player might be able to use as leverage in any upcoming contract negotiations. Staying Fer Now? Fernando Torres will not be leaving Milan in January. Well, at least Rossoneri vice-president Adriano Galliani doesnt think he will be. I don’t think he will leave, even if the market is unpredictable, Galliani said. Torres has been unlucky. He has struggled with injuries and is coming from a different league. We need to be patient. Currently in the first season of a two-year loan with the 18-time Scudetto winners, the 30-year-old striker has struggled mightily since coming over from Chelsea, where he fell behind Diego Costa, Loic Remy and Didier Drogba in the forward pecking order. Torres has netted just once in 10 appearances for Milan, currently sixth in the Serie A table and 12 points adrift of leaders Juventus. There has been talk in recent days of a return to one of his former clubs in Liverpool or Atletico Madrid. ' ' '
