MIAMI "FORCE" THE SPURS TO GAMEEEEEEE 7 OF THE NBA FINALS. HERE IS YOUR REVIEW FROM USATODAY.COM

San Antonio Spurs 'devastated' over coughing up Game 6

The championship stage had been set — literally — and was being pulled into position for the most unexpected of San Antonio Spurs celebrations. The yellow tape that only comes out in title time was being unraveled, officials at American Airlines Arena planning to block the many Miami Heat fans who may have grabbed LeBron James by the shoulders and asked him how he let this happen. And then Ray Allen happened, his scissor-kick three from the right corner with 5.2 seconds left in regulation sending the crew, the tape and the stage back into hiding in what would become the Heat's 103-100 overtime win in Game 6 of the NBA Finals.
The Spurs may not be far behind them.
Gregg Popovich has a habit of reminding the masses that this truly is a game of centimeters, that one play can be the difference between being the champion or merely the final victim. On that one play that led to overtime, that miracle shot that kept the Heat's dream alive and eventually forced a Game 7 on Thursday, everything the Spurs had fought for was compromised by the smallest of failures.
Kawhi Leonard and Manu Ginobili stood for a moment too long as James' three-pointer caromed off the rim, with Chris Bosh grabbing the rebound and finding Allen alone in the corner. Tony Parker rushed his way a little too slowly, rising up along with Allen but unable to get a finger on the shot that changed everything.
These were but a few of the items on San Antonio's laundry list of lost opportunity, the moments that will haunt them in the coming months and years if they aren't able to respond on Thursday for Game 7. A five-point lead with 24 seconds left should be enough, but here they are faced with so much frustration and doubt. And, as Ginobili admitted after, his Game 6 was as disastrous as his Game 5 had been dominant, a good, old-fashioned crisis of confidence.
"I was very insecure — well, I had a career high in turnovers (eight) in a really bad moment," Ginobili said. "It really helps to make me feel terrible. Even with all that, we were so close of winning it. So it's one of the many things I'll be thinking tonight.
"I have no clue how we're going to be re-energized. I'm devastated. But we have to. There's no Game 8 afterwards."

WHO WILL WIN GAME FOUR OF THE NBA FINALS?

HELLO EVERYONE :) I'm back!!!
HERE IS YOUR FIRST ARTICLE OF THE WEEK!!!

The Miami Heat were supposed to be in rhythm from the outset of the series in Game 1—to have their sights locked in on their second Larry O'Brien Trophy in as many seasons. The San Antonio Spurs, meanwhile, were supposed to be rusty, with nothing but film study and practice sessions to hold them over during a nine-day layoff. 
But San Antonio needed just three quarters to find its stride and rode a 23-16 fourth-quarter advantage to a 92-88 win.
What has transpired over the eight quarters of play since simply defies explanation.
The Heat sprinted to a game-changing 33-5 run in the second half of Game 2, a surge that included all of 90-plus seconds of action for Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, and evened up the series with a 103-84 victory. In Game 3, it was the Spurs who were the beneficiaries of some unlikely contributions, as Danny Green and Gary Neal combined for 51 points and 13 of San Antonio's record-setting 16 threes.
So what's next for the best two teams in the league?
Miami might not be ready to call Game 4 a must-win, but history says that's exactly what it is. No team has climbed out of a 3-1 hole in the NBA Finals, and San Antonio hasn't given any indication that it would be the first team to give away that kind of an advantage.
Can the Heat find a way to make this a three-game series in Game 4, or are the Spurs on the verge of wrapping up the franchise's fifth title?
