NBA FINALS – The Heat and the Thunder resume their NBA championship series with Game 4 in Miami tonight.

The Heat lead the series two games to one after Sunday night’s 91-85 victory. LeBron James turned in another outstanding effort, scoring a game-high 29 points and grabbing 14 rebounds.

Kevin Durant had 25 points for the Thunder, but found himself in foul trouble, finishing with five fouls.

But the Oklahoma City has overcome a series deficit before. They dropped the first two games of the conference finals to the San Antonio Spurs, only to reel off four straight wins. Guard Derek Fisher calls it “another great opportunity to show what becoming a champion is all about,” adding “it’s not something that ever has come easy.” Fisher should know, he’s been on five title teams.

MLB – The hottest team in the majors right now is the New York Yankees. They’ll try to extend a 10-game winning streak tonight when they host the Atlanta Braves in the second of a three-game series in the Bronx. Tim Hudson is expected to take the mound for the Braves, while Hiroki Kuroda gets the start for the Yanks. Hudson is 4-3 on the season with a 3.90 ERA. Kiroda is 6-6 with a 3.43 ERA.

Among the 14 other interleague matchups on a full major league schedule, Ohio’s teams meet in Cleveland. The Reds swept the Indians last week in Cincinnati, while the Indians took game one of this series with a 10-9 victory at home last night.

The rest of the schedule has Minnesota at Pittsburgh, St. Louis in Detroit, Tampa Bay visiting Washington, and Baltimore in New York to face the Mets. Miami is in Boston, Houston hosts the Kansas City Royals, the Blue Jays are in Milwaukee to face the Brewers, and Chicago’s two teams face each other in the White Sox park.

Seattle is in Arizona to play the Diamondbacks, and Texas is at San Diego. The other two games feature a team from L.A. going up against a Bay Area squad. The Dodgers have traveled north to play Oakland, while the Giants are in Southern California to play the Angels in Anaheim.

The lone National League matchup has the Colorado Rockies in Philadelphia, with 9-3 Cole Hamels going for the Phillies against the Rockies’ 0-2 Josh Outman.

COLLEGE WORLD SERIES – Florida State faces UCLA in the College World Series tonight, with the winner going home.

The Bruins thumped Stony Brook 9-1 to open the tournament, before being shut out by Arizona, 4-0, on Sunday.

Florida State comes off its own lopsided victory. The Seminoles eliminated Stony Brook with a 12-2 decision on Sunday. Florida State began by dropping 4-3 decision to Arizona in 12 innings.
