Golden State out scored the Heat 24-12 in the fourth quarter. The Heat shot 11.8 percent in the quarter with Wade and Udonis Haslem scoring the only field goals of the period. But Haslem’s biggest contribution to the outcome game wasn’t his immerse that gave the Heat a 93-85 lead. Wade, who led the Heat with 34 points, flow awayed in the fourth and shot 1 of 8 from the field. Still, he led the Heat with six points in the period, which was five more points than James offered.

The Heat had 22 turnovers, missed 14 free throws and blew a 17-point lead in the third quarter by shooting 2 of 17 from the field in the final period. Golden State finished the game with 20 turnovers of its own and shot 40 percent from the field, including 21.7 percent in the third quarter.

But the Warriors caught fire in the overtime. Dorell Wright, the former Heat first-round pick, Golden State scored 15 points in the five-minute overtime period. Wright was perfect from the field in overtime, shooting 3 of 3 from the field and 2 of 2 from three-point range.
