OKLAHOMA CITY — LeBron James scored 32, including the clinching free throws with seven seconds left, as the Heat beat the Thunder 100-96 to even the best-of-seven NBA Finals at one game apiece on Thursday night.

Dwyane Wade added 24 points for Miami, which hosts the next three games. Game 3 is Sunday.

Miami had lost four in a row in the Finals, including the final three games last season against the Mavericks.

It was the first home loss in 10 post­season games this season for the Thunder.

Oklahoma City rallied to win Tuesday's Game 1 after trailing by double digits in the first half.

It rallied Thursday after trailing by 13 in the fourth. And it had a chance to tie on Kevin Durant's 7-footer along the left baseline with 10 seconds left.

But James defended the shot, rebounded the miss, got fouled and made the free throws.
