A combination of young and old, the San Antonio Spurs seem to be on the verge of winning the NBA title for a fifth time.

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.
