It was a historic night for the Spurs on Wednesday as they defeated the Utah Jazz by a 109-84 blowout at San Antonio. They wrapped the series 4-1 as Tim Duncan and Tony Parker both scored 21 points. The star point guard also dished out 5 assists and snagged 5 boards. I knew the Spurs will take the series, but I thought it would be pushed to at least 6 games. San Antonio was in full control and was destined to advance to the NBA Finals, making this their 4th trip since 1998.
Despite going up short in the Western conference championship the Jazz have a real talented guard in Deron Williams who's on the verge of busting out as one of the NBA's best young stars. He did everything he could to keep his team afloat in the playoffs and showcased great all-around performances against the Golden State Warriors in the second round. This diverse, young team has nothing to be ashamed of since they played with a lot of tenacity and shook things up in the West.
Now the Spurs have time to rest and recuperate awaiting the winner of the Cavs, Pistons series. I know most people are expecting Detroit to win in 6 or 7 games, but I have a feeling Cleveland is go to pull out a shocker. If they win tonight, making it three consecutive wins it's going to be tough to stop them. I agree Lebron James will have to up his scoring output. Then again for them to success it's going to take all-out team effort. Plus they must cut down on turnovers and force the issue with tighter defense. I'd like to see a Spurs vs. Cavaliers match-up in the Finals...Lebron could make history, giving the franchise a championship title they'd yearned for in many years. Kick butt and good luck Cavs!
