My, oh my! What a game six! In Miami, the Heat prevail over the Spurs in OT, 103 – 100. I was SO hoping the Spurs would win this game and close it out! They almost did. Now, we will have a game seven on Thursday, winner take all, and who knows, it is anybody’s game, but you maybe have to favor the Heat at home? Darn, I am pulling for the Spurs!
Anyhow, what a game six it was. The Heat led after the 1st period, 27 – 25, the Spurs led at the half, 50 -44, and after 3 periods, the Spurs led by 10, 75 – 65. Then LeBron James went to work. LeBron took over but still it was anybody’s game and with time running out, Tony Parker who had struggled all night made two magnificent shots and at the end of regulation it was 95 – 95. The Heat threw out both the bird man (Anderson) and Miller as ESPN analysts had called for but still, it was a dead heat! (no pun intended!) The Spurs were on fire, still shooting over 60% from the field in the first half, but Parker struggled early on and Danny Green lost some of the magic he has enjoyed in this series with his incredible 3 point shooting. Big surprise for the Spurs, the contribution of Leonard, 22 points, 10 rebounds. Timmy (Duncan) did his part, 21 points in the first half alone, but down the stretch in OT, for some strange reason he was on the bench and they missed his ability to get the offensive and defensive rebounds. Chris Bosh game up huge for the Heat in this department with offensive and defensive rebounds! Perhaps the call that sealed the deal for the Heat, the “no call” on Manu Ginobili (Spurs) when he drove the lane and was fouled, but alas, no foul called. So, the Heat survive game six, 103 – 100 and they will now get an opportunity at home to repeat as NBA Champions on Thursday night in Miami. Can the Spurs overcome the disappointing loss of game six and take game seven? I hope they can, as I must confess I am a card carrying member of the “ABM Club”, (anybody but Miami). I don’t know, however, as it is going to be a war. Stay tuned…action resumes on Thursday evening and I do not think it will disappoint!
P.S. Also a bit disappointed that the Spurs did not close it out last night as that means we will have to wait another week for the ABC drama Motive to return on ABC on Thursday nights at 9:00 pm EST!
