Secure the Advantage

In a blitz game late last night, I blundered away my queen and spoiled a nice position. Nonetheless, I went on to win the game. This morning, I struggled to find where my opponent went wrong. The fatal error is not difficult to determine, but what would have secured the win?

Black to move
29...Qxb2??

29...g6 30.Bf1–+

30.Bh5+ g6 31.Bxg6+??

31.Qxb2 Re3 32.Be2+-

Even after this error, I think White has the better game.

31...hxg6 32.Qxb2 Re3 33.Bf2

33.Qb6 is no good because 33...Be4–+

33...Re4

White to move

34.g3?? d3-+

Black went on to win.
