NBA FINALS
June 15, 2014  | By David Bianculli

ABC, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

More sports in today’s Best Bets? Yes, indeed. After World Cup soccer and U.S. Open golf, there’s the potentially clinching game of the NBA Finals. (Happy Father’s Day, sports junkies.) This is Game 5, played in San Antonio, where the Spurs enjoy not only home-court advantage, but an imposing 3-1 lead over the Miami Heat. No team has ever come from that deficit to win the championship – but LeBron James says that’s true only until some team manages to do it, and he’d like to be part of that story. So tonight is either revenge for the Heat wresting victory from the Spurs last year, or the prolonging of an intense, increasingly interesting NBA rivalry.
