I
believe the saying is, "Jesus saves," right?
With
just under 20 seconds remaining in the thrilling, back-and-forth
fourth quarter of Game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals, SanAntonio Spurs small
forward KawhiLeonard split
two free throws to give his team a 95-92 lead. The MiamiHeat came
up the court without timeouts, and rather than attack the basket in
search of a quick, game-extending 2-pointer, LeBron James —
who had been huge in the frame, scoring 16 points on 7 for 11
shooting, but had committed a couple of costly late turnovers —
rose and fired from 3-point range.
James
missed his jumper, but Heat center Chris Bosh — free of opposite
number Tim
Duncan,
who had been taken out of the game in favor of Boris Diaw on the
prior possession — grabbed the offensive rebound and kicked it out
to the right corner. And if you're talking about the Heat, and you're
talking about the corner, you're talking about Ray Allen.
It
was Allen's first long-range make of the night, and I think it's fair
to say that it couldn't have come at a better time.
Allen's
3-pointer splashed through with 5.2 seconds remaining in the game;
the referees triggered an official review, which determined that
Allen's feet were behind the line and the shot was worth three
points. The Spurs came up empty on their ensuing possession, with
point guard Tony Parker missing a 12-foot fade away along the left
baseline, sending this brilliant Game 6 to overtime tied at 95.
Allen
went on to make a major impact in the extra frame, scoring four of
Miami's eight points — including two big final-second free-throws —
to seal a 103-100
Miami win that
ties the Finals at three games apiece and extends this amazing series
to a deciding Game 7 on Thursday.
