2014 NBA FINALS: Miami Heat @ San Antonio Spurs Game 5 Q-by-Q Reaction



Q4:

Score: MIA 87 SA 104

Congrats to both teams for making it this far in the finals this season, but in the end there can only be one. The Miami Heat's quest for a 3-peat has ended, but the Spurs wanted it more, they wanted to prove that last year they were the better team and Tim Duncan, Gregg Popovich cement their legacy even more among the all-time great players and coaches. Stay tuned for the full recap.

Q3:

Score: MIA 58 SA 77

Explosive, explosive quarter from San Antonio. A block by Splitter on Wade started everything and especially Patty Mills getting hot at the right place at the right time. Now the Spurs are one quarter away from capturing that elusive 5th title, unless the Heat have something else to say to try and go on an improbable run to prolong the finals.

Q2:

Score: MIA 40 SA 47

GINOBILI! The Spurs, in the midst of an awful start the 1st quarter stayed calm and poised and their effort showed here lead by Kawhi Leonard and Manu Ginobili in the 2nd quarter capturing a 7 point lead. Onto the halftime report.

Q1:

Score: MIA 29 SA 22

Slow start for the Spurs, but fast start for the Heat. Give the ball to LeBron and get out of his way and the results? LeBron already has 17 points in the quarter. Rest of the Heat players have to step up if they want to stay away from elimination. The Spurs offense, yikes, horrendous start for the starters, but once Pop put in the bench, they start generating some to go on a run, but currently Miami has the lead because of LeBron's hot start.
