n a dramatic Game 5 of the NBA Finals, the San Antonio Spurs triumphed over the Miami Heat to win the NBA title Sunday night, closing out the series with a 104-87 victory.
After a dismal start, the Spurs rallied and turned things around, entering halftime with a 47-40 lead. When the game resumed, they never looked back and were up by more than 20 points multiple times in the second half.
The Spurs went into Sunday's game leading the series 3-1, a monster deficit for the Heat that no team has overcome in the NBA Finals. It was no different this time, and the Heat's two-year title reign came to an end.
This was the fifth NBA title in franchise history for the Spurs.
Lakers
They’re probably got the most team-oriented offense I’ve seen since the Seattle Supersonics of the mid-90s.
I hated that team never won a championship. They took Jordan, Pippen and the Bulls as close as anyone. Just buzzsaw defense and offense.
Trayvon James will play with Carmelo Anthony next year. I think the Heat send Chris Bosh packing and have Anthony name the price. So once more instead of playing team basketball to win championships they’ll go with a line-up of all-stars.
Spurs should have beaten them last year. Spurs are the best team in the NBA, and have been for years.
BRAVO!!! So true! Congrats to the Spurs.
HAHAHA that one made me laugh! I hope the Bulls don’t try going after him again. Unless they do a straight Boozer for LeBron trade which would never happen. I’d take one diva to dump another.
