San Antonio Spurs – Their Make or Break Moment of the NBA Finals
In the two games the San Antonio Spurs won in the 2013 NBA Finals so far, it seems that either a slightly lucky break (game 1) or a shooting spree (game 3) that won’t happen again were the main reason for the win, while in their losses, it was simply the case of being outplayed by a better team, while Tony Parker collapsed both times in the second half, and the man who should be backing him up, Manu Ginobili, was nowhere to be found.
