James scored 33 points and added 11 rebounds in an unstoppable performance and was finally supported by equally big games from the other two members of the Heat's 'Big Three' Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.

Wade had 32 points and six steals and Bosh 20 points and 11 rebounds in the win, but it was their play when James was off the court that really hurt the Spurs.

Series tied at 2-2

In three minutes while James was resting in the fourth quarter, Bosh and Wade scored five baskets in a row to extend the deficit to 11 points - a lead from which San Antonio  were never able to recover.

In total the three players combined for 85 points on an eye-popping 37-from-64 shooting. Their previous best in this series was 48 points in Game one.

'I was going to play until the tank was empty,' said reigning league MVP LeBron James.

'That's the way it's going to have to be in the rest of the series.'

The Spurs were level at half-time but Tony Parker was virtually non-existant in the second-half, suffering the effects of a calf injury that was first aggravated in the previous game.

Response: After a quiet Finals series, Wade scored 32 points, six steals and four assists on Thursday

Parker scored all of his 15 points in the first-half and although Tim Duncan played well to score 20 points, but Danny Green under-performed and Manu Ginobili continued to struggle.

'The second-half, I think I got fatigued a little bit,' said the French point guard Parker.

'But overall I'm just happy I didn't make it worse. That was the goal, to not get hurt, because [Spurs coach Gregg Popovich] was not really happy, meaning I wanted to play and took a little risk.'

Game five takes place in San Antonio on Sunday.

Credit unions will go head-to-head with payday lenders after the Government announced it would raise the cap on interest charges so that unions do not make losses on short-term loans. The Treasury yesterday confirmed it will introduce legislation that from April 2014 would raise the interest rate ceiling on credit union loans from two per cent to three per cent a month following a consultation with lenders. Three per cent a month works out at APR of 42.6 per cent. Currently, restrictions on interest rates mean that while unions can make decent returns on long-term loans, loans of a similar length to those offered by payday lenders tend to operate at a loss.
