One year after a heartbreaking defeat, the San Antonio
Spurs are back on top of the NBA.
The Spurs wrapped up the championship Sunday,
defeating the Miami Heat in five games, avenging last year’s seven-game loss to
Miami.
This is San Antonio’s fifth title in the past 15
years. The win was especially meaningful for Spurs forward Tim Duncan and head
coach Gregg Popovich, who’ve participated in all of the team’s championships.
The Spurs won the 2014 NBA Finals with
a resounding 104-87 win over LeBron
James and the Miami Heat in Game 5 of the best-of-seven series
at AT&T Center in San Antonio on Sunday night. A third-straight lopsided
Finals victory gave the Spurs a 4-1 series triumph and avenged a heartbreaking
loss to the Heat in the 2013 NBA Finals. It also brought the franchise its fifth NBA championship since
it selected Tim Duncan with the No. 1 overall pick in the 1997 NBA Draft.
