Back on Top: Spurs Win Captures Fifth Title

Spurs 2014 NBA Champion
After seven years the San Antonio Spurs are once again the NBA Champions, they beat Miami 4 – 1 in their best of seven 2014 NBA Finals series. The Heat had a great first half, they lead as much as 16 points because of James brilliance, But the Spurs unleashed an offensive juggernaut in the third quarter that add up to their lead and never look back. The Spurs are simply too much for the Heat, not even Lebron James can do something about it.  Kawhi Leonard bags the Finals MVP, well deserved.  The series turned out to be one of the most lopsided Finals in NBA history. The Spurs just dominated the Heat, and I love every second of it.

After the painful lost in last year’s finals against the Heat, Many thought that the Spurs are done. It’s tough to recover from that kind of loss, plus their big 3 is aging to put up another run, and we all know how tough the west is.  But again the Spurs prove them all wrong, they used that loss as motivation to get back to the finals to redeem themselves. They responded by posting the best record in the regular season before storming through the playoffs. After winning the west finals, they are very vocal about wanting to have a rematch with Miami. And they turned that rematch into no match at all. Winning their fifth ring looks so easy against the two time defending champions. The Spurs just dominated the postseason outscoring their opponents by 214 points, won 12th times with 15 or more points, most ever in the post season.
