MIAMI - LeBron James has learned an important lesson during his journey from 19-year-old rookie to two-time NBA champion: Never talk back to the coach during a film session. James Rodriguez Jersey . "Let him make his point, whether hes right or wrong, and you live with it and move on," James said. Especially when the coach has as much to show his players as Erik Spoelstra did to James and the Miami Heat on Wednesday. Miamis defence didnt offer much resistance early in Game 3 of the NBA Finals; the San Antonio Spurs played like they were on the court by themselves. San Antonio made 19 of its first 21 shots and shot a finals-record 75.8 per cent in the first half of a 111-92 victory. Just like last year, Game 3 was a blowout that left the Heat facing a 2-1 deficit. Miami came back to win the series, so nobody was overreacting to what happened Tuesday, especially since the Spurs themselves dont expect to shoot that way again. But the Heat have things to clean up before Game 4 on Thursday, or they risk going back to San Antonio facing the end of their title reign. "Youre always on edge in the post-season, but I dont want to be concerned at this point," James said. "For us, we have to make the adjustments." The Spurs had the same lead last year after a 113-77 victory in Game 3, a start-to-finish beating that was even more thorough than Tuesdays win. So they were taking no satisfaction in their position, and certainly not comparing it. "I dont think about last year at all at this point," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "I dont think about last year Game 3, Game 4, at all. This is a different animal and Im just concerned about the game tomorrow night." The bigger concerns belong to the Heat, whose defence was also sliced up by the Spurs in the fourth quarter of Game 1. So Spoelstra gathered his team to look at the painful tape of Tuesdays performance, which featured among its problems: —Chris Bosh getting only four shot attempts after scoring 18 points in Games 1 and 2. —James trying to do too much to rally the Heat and ending up with seven of their 20 turnovers. —Mario Chalmers missing all five shots and falling to 3 for 12 in the finals. "We did not play a good basketball game," Spoelstra said. "All of us have owned that. It doesnt matter ultimately how many you lose by or what the game is like. You have to learn from it, move on." Spoelstra said watching themselves get clobbered on tape was "painful" and "frustrating," but necessary. He wouldnt reveal what he told his players, but whatever it was, James wouldnt have argued. Thats a lesson he said he learned "quite a few years ago, when you realize that it wouldnt change anything." "You know, the coach is always right," James added. "Its like a teacher. Theyre always right, and thats fine. Thats fair. They make the rules and weve got to live by them." Spoelstras process suits the Heat, who have won 13 straight post-season games following a loss. They followed last years Game 3 no-show with a rout of their own to swing the series back in their favour, and are confident they can make corrections before Thursday. But the Spurs, who didnt think they played that well in the first two games, have shown that not even the respected Miami defence can stop them when they execute the way they did Tuesday. "We finally put a game together for not the full 48, but for as long as we could, where we did exactly what we planned to do and executed in that respect," Tim Duncan said, "and thats what were going to need again." No team has overcome a 3-1 deficit in the NBA Finals, and a victory Thursday would guarantee the Spurs two chances to win the series on their home floor, starting with Game 5 on Sunday. Dwyane Wade said the Heat arent thinking that far ahead. "Were an in-the-moment team," he said. "And right now in the moment is the day after a loss, getting better mentally, physically and then coming into tomorrow and playing the game of basketball here on our home floor and trying to win Game 4. That is all we focus on." Sergio Ramos Jersey . -- The Tampa Bay Lightning are disappointed, though not discouraged. Keylor Navas Real Madrid Jersey .

The Jets are now 2-0 on the six game road trip, a trip that continues Friday morning in Philadelphia. After a scoreless first period the Jets scored three times in a span of 5:15. Mark Stuart with his first of the season marked the third straight game the Jets scored first, the goal coming right off a face-off. The goal was identical to the goal Evander Kane scored in New Jersey. James Wright won the face-off on Stuarts goal for his first point of the season. A neutral zone steal followed by a great three way passing play gave the Jets a 2-0 lead. The scoring play was Andrew Ladd from Bryan Little and Blake Wheeler. Little now has 18 points in his last 15 games. Devin Setoguchi made it 3-0, as he deflected a Keaton Ellerby shot. Mark Scheifele extended his point streak to three games with an assist on the goal. Right after that goal the Islanders got a power play and Andrew MacDonald made it a 3-1 game after two periods. With the Islanders on a three game losing streak, a third period push was coming.

Al Montoya made a number of big saves, but John Tavares did make it a 3-2 game at 14:01 of the third and 53 seconds later the Isles found themselves on another power play. Montoyas best save came on that man advantage as he robbed Kyle Okposo. Okposo ended the night with six shots on goal. Montoya, a former Islander, ended the night with 30 saves and upping his record to 3-2-1. Jets ended with 29 shots, were 54 per cent on face-offs, and blocked 21 shots. The Jets are now 6-1-1 against Eastern Conference teams. Coach Claude Noel felt the Islanders first goal gave them life. “Would have been nice to end the second 3-0,” he told TSN. “But we managed the game okay. A lot of good efforts. We dont enjoy how we make it close, but that will be our next challenge. You have to recognize that the other team will be pressing. But we are finding ways to win.” Fridays game is an 11:30am et start in Philadelphia (TSN Jets, TSN 1290). Jets are 6-2-2 in their last 10, good for 14 of a possible 20 points.
