While interacting with the media, San Antonio Spurs' coach, Gregg Popovich, prefers to be brief and precise.

And he was witty too during the interaction before Game 3 of the NBA playoff finals against Miami Heat. And his team did the right things to destroy the visitors 113-77, and take a 2-1 lead in the seven-match series.

Among Popovich's stalwarts, Gary Neal did his job with near perfection, taking the match away from the clutches of the defending champions.

On Monday night, Heat stars like LeBron James and Dwyane Wade faltered under the basket, and Neal neatly decimated the opposition with his flawless court craft, scoring 27 points to design a comprehensive victory for his team on home ground.

The vociferous home crowd also made a difference in the Spurs' win with their chants of 'Go Spurs Go'. And the home team did not let them down.
