Spurs Clinch NBA Title

How about the resiligence of the San Antonio Spurs? These guys played their hearts out in a thrilling series and so did the Pistons. The only difference is the Spurs won the championship after slipping away from their opponents with a minute to go in Game 7. The clutch performances from Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili fueled the team's offense and helped carry them the distance. Robert Horry's timely key shots down the stretch turned out to be a huge factor too. The Spurs won their 3rd championship title in the last 7 years. They proved their strength and depth could outlast the young, strong Phoenix Suns team they left in the dust in the playoffs. With all the highlights, thrills, surprises, and fab superstars this season has been memorable. There will be some off season trades and acquisitions with Larry Brown's existence with a new team laying in the balance. Hopefully he can go to Cleveland to help make the Cavs a much better team while instilling a greater leadership role in the amazing Lebron James. That's it for the 2004-05 season, look for better things to come in the league with new, emerging young players.
