Spurs see the title. San Antonio does not win but wins again on the Miami Heat field, for the second consecutive time in the series, and goes ahead 3-1: now it has three match points, the first of which to play at home in game 5, next Sunday in Texas.
For Duncan and his companions, who overwhelm Miami far beyond expectations, dominating the game far and wide and still winning by over 20 points (the same happened in game-3), it would be the fifth title in history, and above all the revenge after the final lost last year, which had given LeBron James and associates the second consecutive ring.
At this point the Heat will hardly score the so-called Tree-peat, while the first time of an Italian with the ring on his finger is approaching: it could already be, next Sunday, the Bolognese Marco Belinelli, yesterday used only in the final but protagonist of a great season.
Returning to yesterday's match, the Spurs came close to perfection orchestrated by the best Tony Parker of the series and by a simply divine Boris Diaw (triple-double with 8 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists) simply divine, who armed Kawhi Leonard's arm ( 20 and 14 rebounds), increasingly explosive, and with an amazing defensive first half (Miami 36 points with 35% shooting). The Heat only had LeBron (who scored 19 of his 21 points in the third quarter, finishing with 28) and they seemed on their feet.
