The Miami Heat will play the San Antonio Spurs tonight in NBA basketball that will be FREE live streaming online from the A T & T Center in San Antonio at 8:00 PM ET.

The Heat hope their leader, LeBron James, will be well-rested for a matchup against the Spurs, who are coming off one of their more balanced performances of the season.

The Heat visit the Spurs on Thursday night for their second meeting since Miami beat San Antonio in seven games in last season's NBA Finals.

James followed his career-best 61-point performance Monday against Charlotte -- which also set a Heat record -- with 22 points in a 106-103 loss road loss to the Rockets on Tuesday that ended Miami's winning streak at eight.

The four-time MVP, who acknowledged before the game that he was "extremely tired," had only three points after the break and appeared to drag at times in the second half. He was 1 for 7 over the final two quarters and spent the first half of the fourth on the bench.

"I fought through it in the first half. Second half it just wasn't there for me," James said to the Heat website. "Got out of rhythm."

The Spurs won their first regular-season matchup against Miami after James joined the team in 2010, but have lost the last five.

The game will be telecast nationally on TNT and will be live streaming online free at nbalivestreamfree.net/‎
