Game 4 Result: Miami Heat Wins - NBA Finals 2012

> The Miami Heat is just a game away from winning the 2012 NBA Finals as they defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 104-98 in Game 4 at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, Florida on Tuesday, June 19.

Miami recovered from a 15-point deficit in the first period and continued to rally from the second up to the last quarter.

Although OKC had put up a pretty good game, Miami played better offense plus the homecourt advantage definitely contributed to their victory.

Lebron James apparently had cramps down 5 minutes in the final period. He was sidelined for a minute but when he came back in, although still limping, he nailed a crucial 3-point shot to take the lead back from OKC.

Dwayne Wade then posted a jumper to widen the lead by five.

OKC was able to get close by three, but the Heat fought hard and eventually won the game.

But the night was for Mario Chalmers. He made 26 points with a beautiful drive and a finish as the clock wined down less than a minute to go in the fourth.

The Heat lead the series 3-1.

Game 5 will still be played in Miami on Thursday, June 21 (Friday, June 22 Philippine time).
