Once again it was pretty much San Antonio the whole game, the Cavs had a small lead early on and fought back furiously to take it again at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but every time they did so the Spurs scored half a dozen points in about a minute to take the lead again. Down the stretch though, it was pretty evident that San Antonio had the experience to win it all and the Cavaliers couldn't buy a basket.
The worst play came at 53 seconds left in the game, and the Cavs were down 76-69. They didn't trap the ball handler, they didn't foul, and they let the clock run all the way down to 30 seconds. Even with the furious run the Cavaliers made in the final 30 seconds, the Spurs went to the free throw line and coolly made all their free throws to win the game.
I was really cheering for the Cleveland Cavaliers but the Spurs outplayed them all four games, in fact, the Cavs held the lead for a total of 150 seconds in the second half of all four games. Not a very exciting end to not a very exciting NBA playoffs this year (with the Golden State / Dallas series being the exception).
