SAN ANTONIO -- Manu Ginobili ran onto the floor as fans stood and screamed. He went to the bench, and they chanted his name. The sights and sounds of so many San Antonio spring nights were back Sunday -- and the real party might be just a few days away. Ginobili broke out of a slump in a big way with 24 points and 10 assists in his first start of the season, and the Spurs beat the Miami Heat 114-104 to take a 3-2 lead in the NBA Finals. Tony Parker scored 26 points, Tim Duncan had 17 points and 12 rebounds, and Ginobili had his highest-scoring game of the season as the Spurs became the first team to shoot 60 per cent in a finals game in four years. "Hes such a huge part of what we do and how far weve come. You can see it tonight in how we played and the results of the game," Duncan said. "Were always confident in him. ... we know he has it in him. We hope he can bring it forward for one more win." Danny Green smashed the NBA Finals record for 3-pointers, hitting six more and scoring 24 points. Kawhi Leonard finished with 16, but the stage was set when Ginobili trotted out with Duncan, Parker and the rest of starters in what could have been the last finals home game for a trio thats meant so much to San Antonio. One more victory and the Spurs Big Three, not Miamis, will be the one that rules the NBA. And a big reason was Ginobili, as hes been for so long -- just not during what had been a miserable series for the former Sixth Man of the Year. "I was angry, disappointed," Ginobili said. "We are playing in the NBA Finals, we were 2-2, and I felt I still wasnt really helping the team that much," Ginobili said. "And that was the frustrating part." On Sunday, it was all forgotten. "Hes obviously very popular. Hes been here a long time. Hes helped us have a lot of success over the years," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. LeBron James and Dwyane Wade each scored 25 points for the Heat, who host Game 6 on Tuesday night. They need a victory to force the first Game 7 in the finals since the Lakers beat the Celtics in 2010. Miamis Big Three formed a few weeks after that game, with predictions of multiple titles to follow. Now theyre a loss away from going just 1 for 3 in finals to start their partnership, while the Spurs could run their perfect record to 5 for 5. "This is the position were in and the most important game is Game 6," James said. "We cant worry about a Game 7, we have to worry about Game 6." Duncan won his first title in 1999, and Parker and Ginobili were with him for three championships since. They have been the perfect partnership, keeping the Spurs in the hunt virtually every year while teams like the Lakers, Mavericks and Suns have all risen and fallen in the Western Conference during that time. They remained unbeaten in Game 5s, including two previous victories when the series was tied at 2-2. Of the 27 times the finals have been tied at 2-2, the Game 5 winner has won 20 of them. Miami was the most recent loser, falling to Dallas in Game 5 in 2011 before being eliminated at home the next game. "Were going to see if were a better ballclub and if were better prepared for this moment," Wade said. San Antonio shot 42 of 70, right at 60 per cent. The last team to make 60 per cent of its shots in the finals was Orlando, which hit 62.5 in Game 3 against the Lakers in 2009, according to STATS. "They just absolutely outplayed us," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "At times they were just picking one guy out at a time and going at us mano-a-mano. Thats got to change." Ray Allen scored 21 points on the night for the Heat as he watched Green shatter his finals 3-point record. Green has 25 3s in the series. Allen made 22 3-pointers in six games in 2008 finals for Boston. Chris Bosh scored 16 for Miami, Wade had 10 assists, and James had eight assists and six rebounds, but it was their defence that let the Heat down in this one. The Heat were within one with 3:05 left in the third before Green hit yet another 3-pointer and Ginobili followed with the stretch that turned the game into the fourth straight blowout of the finals. The crafty lefty plays with a flair developed on the courts of Argentina and perfected in Europe before coming to the NBA. He sees angles other players cant and takes risks few others would, but his style has been the perfect fit alongside Duncan and Parker. He converted a three-point play, tossed in a floater with his left hand as he drifted right, and found Tiago Splitter under the hoop with a pass to make it 85-74. He flipped in another runner with 2.9 seconds to go, sending the Spurs to the fourth with an 87-75 lead as fans chanted "Manu! Manu!" during the break between the third and fourth quarters. Ginobili had been averaging just 7.5 points on 34.5 per cent shooting in the series, making only three of his 16 3-point attempts. But Popovich made the finals second lineup change in two games, after the Heat inserted Mike Miller to start Game 4. Ginobili didnt make a start this season and certainly hadnt been playing like someone who belonged with the first five. But in the Spurs biggest game of the season, they remained confident he would break out, and they were right. "I knew that I was not scoring much and I felt it in the air. But I tried not to care about it. I know Im critical enough of myself to be worrying about what other people say," Ginobili said. It was the first time he scored 24 or more points since having 34 on June 4, 2012, against Oklahoma City, according to STATS. The AT&T Center crowd roared when Ginobili was the last starter announced, the cheers growing louder when he made a jumper -- originally ruled a 3-pointer but later overturned by replay -- on the first possession. He assisted on the Spurs next three baskets, and it was 15-10 when he later hit a 3 that did count. Parker picked it up from there, dancing his way into the lane repeatedly and scoring seven points in a 12-0 run that made it 29-17. Leonards 3-pointer with 4.7 seconds left, on an assist from Ginobili, made it 32-19 and gave the Spurs 12 makes in 19 attempts (63 per cent) in the opening 12 minutes. Greens third straight 3-pointer made it 45-28 about 5 minutes into the second quarter, and it seemed the trend of blowouts would continue. But James suddenly got rolling during a 14-2 Miami spurt that cut it to five on his third consecutive Heat basket. San Antonio made 21 of 34 shots (62 per cent) in the first half, opening a 61-52 lead on Parkers drive with 0.4 seconds left. Miami then ran off eight in a row to start the second half and get within one. They cut it to one again later in the period before Ginobili led the flurry that finished the Heat for good. It was a fitting finish if it was the last home game in the finals for San Antonios star trio, which has combined for 101 playoff victories together. Ginobili has said he might think about retirement as he turns 36 next month, and Duncan is 37. Both coaches said it was difficult waiting two days between games -- Popovich said it was "like death" -- though he did say it was great for the Spurs because they have some older players. The break seemed to help his team early, particularly Parker, whose energy sagged in the second of Game 4 as he struggled with a strained hamstring that he said could tear at any time and wouldve had him sidelined during the regular season. If things fall right for the Spurs, hell have plenty of time to heal after Tuesday. Notes: The last team to lose Game 5 of a 2-2 series and then win the title was the Los Angeles Lakers, when they beat Boston in 2010. ... The Spurs said Sunday that reserve guard Patty Mills had surgery to remove an abscess Friday and would miss the rest of the series. Mills had an infection in his right foot and the abscess developed between his fourth and fifth toes. Custom Randy Johnson Jersey .

This is the farthest Yoo Ryu Sang-ook has gone at a World Championship. Hes been on some of the best teams to never make the international stage in the past, including the KT Rolster roster.Now with H2K Gaming, hes made it to the tournament two years consecutively. Last time it ended in heartbreak, as the team lost to Fakers SK Telecom T1 in the group stages before getting eliminated. In 2016, however, Ryu will possibly have another chance at playing Faker in a best-of-five format if the two teams meet in the next few weeks.ESPN talked to Ryu after his teams tiebreaker victory over Chinas Edward Gaming to secure the top spot in Group C.I was happy even coming to Worlds twice in a row, he said. But getting out of groups, as first seed, is the best feeling. From last years tournament, I had a lot of regrets because I got eliminated during group stage. But this year, its even better because I got out of groups and as first seed.I actually never thought that I was playing badly, he said when asked how he was able to pick himself up from his lowest point to return as one of the worlds premier talents in the mid lane. I thought I was performing as well as before [on KT], and I just practice a lot.Ryus career has been filled with great moments but has little hardware to show for it. He has never won a domestic championship, and this is the first time hes made it to the bracket stage of a major Riot Games tournament. Even though people doubted H2Ks abiliity to qualify, this year could be Ryus chance to rewrite his legacy.ddddddddddddast year, when I first played with Forgiven, there were some issues with him [and] playing as a team, he said. But this year a lot of those issues were solved and thats why were playing better and better as a team.My ultimate goal is to win [Worlds], he said. I would feel really good. Up until now, Ive had a lot of second-places and Ive played in a lot of third/fourth-place matches, so definitely winning Worlds would mean a lot to me.On a possible rematch with Faker, Ryu laughed, simply saying: Im not too close to Faker, so theres not much to say to him [if we meet again]. But if I had to pick some words out to say, Id [tell him], Lets have fun today.Finally, I asked about his former team, KT Rolster, who were inches (and possibly two hit points against the ROX Tigers) from making the World Championships. As the last remnant of the best team not attending Worlds in the competition, I asked if he had any words for his friends cheering him on back in his old home.So actually before I came here, the KT Rolster players were like, Youre going to get eliminated, anyways, so they were planning our vacation plans. But I think we have to postpone those plans a bit now, so I just hope once I get back to Korea we can all go out on vacation together. ' ' '
