SAN ANTONIO - LeBron James scored 33 points while playing with the aggression and ferocity that everyone expects of the four-time Most Valuable Player, leading the Miami Heat to a 109-93 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday night that leveled the NBA Finals at two games each.
James also had 11 rebounds and four assists and finally got some much-needed help from his struggling All-Star teammates. Dwyane Wade scored 32 points, Chris Bosh had 20 points and 13 rebounds and the defending champions made sure the series will head back to South Beach.
Tony Parker had 15 points and nine assists while playing through a sore right hamstring for the Spurs, who are playing for their fifth championship.
Game 5 in the best-of-seven series is Sunday in San Antonio.
