Miami (12-4 in the playoffs) and San Antonio (12-2 in the playoffs) square off in the 2013 NBA Finals. The Heat have come off an intense 7-game battle with Indiana, whilst the Spurs have had 10 days rest after sweeping Memphis in the Western Conference Finals.
Miami’s big 3 (James/Wade/Bosh)
have averaged 52.2pts a game these playoffs, whereas the Spurs’ big 3
(Duncan/Parker/Ginobili) have averaged 52.3pts. The big 3 of each team have not
faced each other in an NBA game since 14th Mar 2011, where Chris
Bosh scored 30pts.
Lebron James played against the
Spurs in the 2007 NBA Finals whilst with the Cleveland Cavaliers, but struggled
as double and triple-teams forced him to take shots from the outside, only
making 35.6% of his field goals. Six years later, Lebron has improved his
outside shooting, and has had the best shooting season of his career on his way
to becoming the regular season MVP.
