Spurs in Seven

[ EDITOR'S NOTE : My Prediction came true.. sorta.. at least the most important part : the SPURS did win the NBA Finals Championship, but it was even MORE convincing : in only five (5) games.  The Miami Heat looked confused and dazed at times, not even playing up to the caliber of the NBA's second best team, much less a champion.  On the other hand, the Spurs looked incredible, 
playing as a team with purpose and emotion, and winning in dramatic fashion. ]

A little over a month ago, I made a prediction.  At that time, it was during the first or second round of the playoffs.  My prediction was that the NBA Finals would rematch the Miami Heat and the San Antonio Spurs.  My prediction came true.  These two teams would eventually once again meet to settle the NBA Championship.

San Antonio Spurs vs. Miami Heat :  2014 NBA Finals

  On Thursday night, I witnessed a wonderful, exciting Game One between these two teams.  For most of the game, the Spurs had the lead, but it was close, and at times, the Heat managed to go ahead.  But in the 4th quarter, the Spurs, led by the 3-point shooting of Danny Green, and also helped by the absence of injured Heat star forward LeBron James, surged ahead, and won the game going away, 110-95.  The Spurs outscored the Heat in the final quarter, 36-17, and ended the game with a 16-3 run. 

  With Game One finished, I make a Finals prediction : this series will go seven games, down-to-the-wire, in similar fashion to last year's Finals, only this time, the Spurs will win.
