NBA Finals: Heat vs. Spurs

Posted on 07:22 by Unknown

The back-and-forth that is the NBA Finals should see the hometown Miami Heat rebound for a Game 6 victory Tuesday night over San Antonio, right?

And continuing with that pattern, it also seems one, two or all of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and Mario Chalmers will step up their games and be the key to a Heat win.

The Spurs' Manu Ginobili, whose recent slump had him pondering retirement, was the latest player to be a difference-maker in the best-of-seven series as he scored a season-best 24 points in his team's 114-105 Game 5 win on Sunday night.

A game earlier, a speedy and powerful James led Miami to a 109-93 verdict, collecting 33 points and 11 rebounds after failing to reach 20 points in any of the first three contests of the series.

Others have stolen the spotlight for certain periods, including Danny Green and the undrafted Gary Neal with their three-point prowess, Tony Parker with a desperation jumper in Game 1 and Kawhi Leonard with his at-times stellar defensive play against James.

They're all featured above in our NBA Finals gallery. Let us know in the comment section below what moments have been memorable for you in the series or which player(s) have caught your eye.
