Here’s the South Florida Sun Sentinel reporting on the upcoming NBA Finals series between the Heat and Spurs:
The season began with the Miami Heat hearing about how their biggest rival in the Eastern Conference wanted to earn homecourt.
Now, the Heat have to listen of how their latest challenge embraces being the home team.
For the Heat to win a third straight NBA title, they will have to defeat the San Antonio Spurs as the visiting team.
“Once the time came when the playoffs started, we knew whoever we were going to play there was a chance that we were going to have to win on the road,” guard Ray Allen said.
Last year homecourt proved valuable in the Heat defeating the Spurs in the Finals. They trailed 3-2 when the series returned to Miami. The Heat then won the last two games to capture a second consecutive championship.
