The Miami Heat Win The NBA Title In A Game 7 Thriller, LeBron Has His Best Finals Game Ever

The Miami Heat are NBA champions for the second-straight year.

They beat the San Antonio Spurs 95-88 in a thrilling Game 7, clinching one of the most evenly-matched NBA Finals in recent history.

LeBron James was fantastic. For the first time all series, he drained his outside jumpers. He ended up with 37 points, 12 rebounds, and 4 assists.



He also drained a dagger jump shot with put Miami up 4 with 30 seconds left.

All season LeBron has been more of a distributor than a scorer. But in the most important game of the year, he took the scoring load on his shoulders, and won a game almost by himself.

There were a lot of bizarre parts of this game.

Chris Bosh scored zero points
Shane Battier made six threes
Miami actually went to Wade down the stretch on a few possessions instead of LeBron
Manu Ginobili was a turnover machine

King James, the sport's biggest star playing at the peak of his powers, had a game-high 37 points and pulled in 12 rebounds in a dominant performance while Dwyane Wade had 23 points.

"To be able to come on to our floor and do it, it's the ultimate," James, who delivered the perfect answer to those who doubted his killer instinct in the big games, said during an on-court interview.

"I can't worry about what everybody says about me. I am LeBron James from Akron, Ohio, from the inner city, I'm not even supposed to be here. I'm blessed."

Miami now have two titles from three consecutive appearances in the NBA Finals. With James just 28 and back-to-back league and Finals MVP awards under his belt, it may not be the Heat’s last trip to the season’s climax. But while debate on his legacy and place in the pantheon of greats rages on, there’s a party raging in South Beach and it could go on for some time.
