Heat Spurs Game 7 LIVE UPDATES LeBron James Tim Duncan Face Off In ...

The 2013 NBA Finals comes down to this Game 7. Either LeBron James and the Heat will win back to back NBA titles or Tim Duncan will be hoisting the Larry O'Brien Trophy for the fifth time in his illustrious career.

Miami Heat vs. San Antonio Spurs AmericanAirlines Arena Miami Fla. 9 00 PM ET June 20 2013

The Heat forced a winner take all seventh game by winning an instant classic in Game 6. Ray Allen capped Miami's improbable fourth quarter rally with a game tying three pointer that forced overtime. Despite leading by five points with just 28 seconds remaining in regulation play (and potentially in the series) the Spurs ended up losing in overtime.

I have no clue how we're going to be re energized. I'm devastated Ginobili said after the series extending loss via the Associated Press. But we have to. There's no Game 8 afterward.

The Heat Spurs series has been a roller coaster ride filled with clutch shots surprising performances and blowouts. Through six games neither team won consecutive games. The Heat aim to change that in front of their fans in Miami provided they stay until the end of the game. Meanwhile Gregg Popovich and the Spurs will look to keep that trend going.

The best two words in team sports. Game Seven Spoelstra said after Game 6.

The Spurs are bad asses. Had multiple chances to fold in this game and kept fighting back. Huge hearts I really respect them. What a game.

If I was a fan of either of these teams pretty sure I'd be heaving up dinner by now.

Crazy sequence. Timmy turned the ball over right to Chalmers and that led to another 3 pointer in the corner by Battier. But the Spurs pushed the ball and found Duncan down low. He drew a foul on Bosh and made a shot off the glass. That's 5 on Bosh. Duncan made the free throw to make it 88 85 Heat. Spoelstra calls timeout with 3 06 left.

Spurs continue to give LeBron some cushion and he buries another long 2. He has 33. But Ginobili knocked down a looooong 3 pointer to cut the lead to 85 82.

Chris Bosh was left open in the corner and he airballed a 3 pointer. Just awful. On the other end Parker found Duncan underneath the basket and he was fouled on a shot. He made both free throws. 83 79 Heat.

Tim Duncan missed a shot in the paint off the back of the rim and then Ginobili committed a loose ball foul.

LeBron is shooting 10/19 from the field with 31 points 9 rebounds 3 assists (including 5/9 from 3 point range)

Still a long way to go but Miami has had more players play well than Spurs. And has the best player on Earth. Sometimes it's simple.

Think Pop can see it slipping away on the last Manu turnover. Held his head in his hand for a few extra seconds.
