NBA Finals Game 6

WOW! Oh WOW! Game 6 was quite a game. One of the best games if not the best game that I have ever seen. It was a roller coaster ride that never seemed to end. The Heat started well largely thanks to a hot start from Mario Chalmers. Chalmers had 10 points in just the first quarter, he would finish with 20. The Spurs and Heat were nearly deadlocked throughout the first half. The Spurs were powered by Tim Duncan having what started out to be a career defining game. Duncan had 25 points off of 11-13 shooting in just the first half!

 Unfortunately for the Spurs Duncan could not continue that pace going just 2-8 with 5 points in the second half. Never the less the Spurs built a 12 point lead around the start of the fourth quarter. LeBron James' night had stalled but he shifted gears in the fourth compiling 16 points in the quarter, 12 after he lost his headband. James clanked a three to try to pull within two but Miller snagged the rebound kicked it back out to James and he drained it to pull the Heat within two. The Heat then fouled Kawhi Leonard to send him to the line. Leonard bricked the first attempt but sunk the second to make it a three point game.

  LeBron then at the other end missed a deep three to tie but Chris Bosh snagged a miraculous rebound and kicked the ball out to Ray Allen who nailed the three under heavy pressure from the Spurs, leaving just 5 ticks left on the clock. Tony Parker then missed a buzzer beater at the other end. Fast forward to over time, with 32 seconds left and the Spurs down by one, Bosh blocked Parker's three. Moments later after Ray Allen hit two free throws to make it a 103 - 100 game, the Spurs were left with just 1 second on the clock. They almost got a five second violation on the inbound desperately waiting for Danny Green (who had an abysmal night in which he scored just three points) to get open. Green never did but he caught the pass anyway. Green fading, falling, and flailing tried to put a three up but again it was blocked by Bosh!

 The Heat mounted a comeback and stole game 6 from the jaws of defeat. When all was said and done the San Antonio Spurs were literally 5.2 seconds away from winning the NBA title. Now both teams are 48 minutes away and we have one game to determine who will wear the crown. Heat in 7!
