1. Spurs vs. Heat Game 1 2013 Finals
The San Antonio Spurs playing in their first Finals game in
six years stole home court from the Miami Heat in a stunning way. Thanks to a
big run to the end of the match, that was punctuated by a game-sealing shot
from Tony Parker. Superb performance from Tony Parker,
the San Antonio Spurs came into Miami and surprised the Heat, 92-88, in Game 1
of the 2013 NBA Finals.
2. Spurs vs. Heat Game 1 of 2014 Finals
The San
Antonio Spurs crushed the Miami Heat 110-95 in a great ole Texas tussle
through Game 1 of the 2014 NBA Finals. With the match in the balance late in
the fourth quarter and the air condition on the fritz within the AT &T Center in San
Antonio, two things happened. Lebron James got a severe case of the cramps,
and Danny Green pulled out the opportunity to get hot. Green aced a massive 3
pointers late to help out the Spurs capture Game 1 of the Finals for the second
straight year in a row.
3. Spurs vs. Sonics Game 6 of 2005 Playoffs:
In spite of suffering a noticeable ankle injury with just
over 8-minutes to play, Tim Duncan scored 12 of his 26 points in the fourth
quarter and hit the go-ahead basketball shot with less than a second, leading
the Spurs to a dramatic 98-96 win over the Seattle Supersonics, clinching their
Western Conference semifinals, 4-2. With the game tied late and only seconds
left, Gregg Popovich placed the ball in the hands of Manu Ginobili, who took
away a laser outdo to Tim Duncan, and Duncan put in the game winner and series
clincher with 0.5 seconds left to play.
Spurs simply beat the Jazz in 5 games in the Western
Conference Finals, and thus the Cavaliers in a Finals sweep. The Spurs returned
from a two digit shortage in the match to beat the Suns in an exceedingly
classic game and dramatic series. Parker entered and found Bowen who then hit
the go-ahead 3 pointers with 30 seconds left to play. This shot helped drive
the Spurs to a critical Game 5 win on the road, which leads to a chain
clinching win back in San Antonio for Game 6.
The Phoenix Suns were certainly the league's most exciting
team; however, after two MVPs for Steve Nash and a pair of moderate exits, the
stress to win was at an all time high. The San Antonio Spurs was sure to get
feistier after Steve Nash took a shot to the eye in Game 1. However, that was
just a preview.
In the latter stages of a critical Game 5, Robert Horry
leveled Nash into the scorer's table, prompting his teammates (Amare Stoudemire
& Boris Diaw) to run to his aid. The Suns lost the next game and haven't
been constant since.
5. Spurs vs. Mavericks Game 6 of 2003
Conference Finals
With the Spurs trailing by double digits in the 4th quarter,
Gregg Popovich determined to provide Steve Kerr a shot. Kerr who had not been a
part of the final tournament rotation answered the call. Steve Kerr connected
on all 4 of his 3 point attempts to help the Spurs go forward to the Finals.
Tim Duncan's triple-double helped the Spurs end the Suns' season with a Game 6
victory.
