Golden State outscored Miami 23-11 in the decisive fourth quarter, thanks to a 14-0 run after falling behind 95-9 midway through the final 12 minutes. 
"The beauty of this team is we can play both ends," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. "We have the personnel to score. We have the personnel to guard."
The Warriors limited the Heat to 17.6 percent from the floor on just three made field goals in the fourth quarter. Miami shot 27.5 percent in the second half.
