Spoelstra repeatedly dismisses the intense media scrutiny on his team as "white noise" or "manufactured storylines" that don't always reflect the level of support and stability the organization has shown over three decades. "Even though we had four coaches, it's been the same culture and relatively the same philosophy," Spoelstra said. "San Antonio has been the same way. So we don't see [success] as a coincidence. It's really a shame for the coaching profession that it's so volatile. But I'm also very grateful our organization doesn't behave in that manner." ESPN.com

Mike Miller has experienced a resurgence during the NBA Finals. He’s shooting 80 percent from three-point range for the Miami Heat and averaging 9.7 points per game. Watching Miller rise and fire, you might catch a glimpse of the teal band around his right wrist. The wristband reads ‘42 million.’ That’s the number of survivors of childhood sexual abuse in the United States. The other side of the bracelet reads “Lauren’s Kids”, a foundation the Heat have supported for the past three years. “The story is incredible and I’m just happy to be a part of it,” Miller told USA TODAY Sports. “I’ve seen a lot of things in life, and I’m happy to be a part of something that’s trying to make a difference and help spread the word.” For The Win

James had 33 points and 11 rebounds, Wade had 32 points, six steals, six rebounds and four assists and Bosh had 20 points and 13 rebounds in Miami's 109-93 victory against the San Antonio Spurs in Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Thursday, tying the best-of-seven series at 2. "Tonight was a Big 3 night. It just was," Heat reserve forward Shane Battier told USA TODAY Sports. "We all knew it on the bench. It was their night. When we have success, they receive a lion's share of the credit, and deservedly so. But when we have failure, they take a lot of the criticism as well. "They knew they were going to play better, and they just made it happen." USA Today Sports

Now it is the Spurs' turn to dwell on what they didn't do. And what the Spurs said about Ginobili was not unlike what the Heat were saying about James and Wade. “We need him to be a little more aggressive, be a little more selfish,” Tim Duncan said, “and hopefully we can find him a way to get him to do that.” And from Tony Parker: “We need to help him try to get his confidence going.” San Antonio Express-News

As the Heat prepared for Thursday's Game 4 of the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs at the AT&T Center, Bosh said he has heard all the rumblings of how failure in this series could have him headed elsewhere. "You know man, I don't care," he said. "I keep saying it. At first, I used to care. But that hindered my game and they're going to talk about you, anyway." South Florida Sun-Sentinel

With the focus on LeBron James, and with Dwyane Wade a franchise mainstay, Bosh tends to be the name most often mentioned when it comes to the Heat's position against the salary cap, the luxury tax, and now against the Spurs in this third consecutive trip to the NBA Finals. "It's something that you can't ever overcome," he said of being the third wheel in the team's hierarchy but the team's leading man on the rumor mill. "So why should you even try to prove people wrong? I just play the game." South Florida Sun-Sentinel

Iola is a small town 4 hours away from San Antonio. Population: 401. It's the type of town where everyone knows each other, and if you're born there, you usually stay the rest of your life. Chris "Birdman" Andersen was raised in the middle of Iola with his mother, Linda Holubec, and his two sisters, Tammy and April. "Typical kid, lot of energy, loved to go to school, play and go fishing," said Holubec. Local 10 Miami

A packed outdoor deck behind a popular Miami-area sports bar collapsed during the NBA Finals on Thursday night, sending dozens of patrons into the shallow waters of Biscayne Bay. Three people were critically injured. Lt. Ignatius Carroll of Miami Fire-Rescue said late Thursday that 100 people fell into the water. He said rescuers pulled patrons from the bay, and that divers were searching waters underneath the collapsed deck as helicopters shined spotlights onto the area. ESPN.com
