National Basketball Association Playoff Game Capsules (Sunday, June 16th)Final Score: San Antonio 114, Miami 104 San Antonio, TX (Sports Network) - Manu Ginobili shook off a forgettable start to the NBA Finals and put in a vintage performance in Game 5 while leading the San Antonio Spurs to a 114-104 victory over the Miami Heat. Ginobili, inserted into the starting lineup for the first time all season, totaled 24 points and 10 assists and has the Spurs one win away from their fifth championship since 1999. All five starters scored in double figures for the Spurs, who never trailed and ran the Heat out of AT&T Center with a high-paced style and a 60 percent shooting effort to take a 3-2 series lead. Danny Green continued to shoot the lights out, as the up-and-coming gunner poured in 24 points and hit six more 3-pointers to set a Finals record with 25 already through the first five games. The defending-champion Heat host Game 6 on Tuesday with the knowledge they have not lost back-to-back games since January. 06/16 23:28:39 ET Powered by The Sports Network. |
