NBA Playoffs – Oklahoma City Thunder Fall Short, San Antonio Spurs Finalists Again
For the first time in the Western Conference Finals, we got ourselves a close game, ending in another first – a road win. The San Antonio Spurs finished the job in six games with a 112-107 overtime win thanks to some great basketball from Tim Duncan in the clutch, Manu Ginobili hitting some big shots and Boris Diaw proving his value once more.

San Antonio Spurs – Back on the Righteous Path
The Dallas Mavericks deserve plenty of credit from turning their series against the San Antonio Spurs into much more than your normal #1 vs #8 first round playoff encounter.
