The Miami Heat have won the 2012 NBA Finals.

On Thursday the Heat trounced the Oklahoma City Thunder 121-106 to win the NBA Finals 4-1.

LeBron James was selected as NBA Finals MVP, the same year he won the NBA MVP in the regular season. James recorded a triple double (26 points, 13 assists, 11 rebounds). James led the Heat in all three of the major statistical categories in game five.

Another reason for Miami’s game five rout was the spectacular three point shooting from Mike Miller.

Miller, who played with a bad back throughout the playoffs, went seven for eight from beyond the arc. In all, Miller had 23 points.

Former Toronto Raptor Chris Bosh had 24 points, while Dwyane Wade had 20 points. This is the first time that Bosh and James have won an NBA Championship, while this is Wade’s  second.

Wade was the NBA Finals MVP in 2006, the only other time the Miami Heat have won the NBA Championship.
