The San Antonio Spurs edged the Oklahoma City Thunder and NBA Most Valuable Player Kevin Durant 112-107 in overtime in Game Six of the NBA Western Conference Championship on Saturday, May 31, 2014, at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, capturing the 2014 NBA Western Conference Championship and setting a rematch of the 2013 NBA Finals against the Miami Heat once again in 2014 commencing with Game One on Thursday, June 5th, at San Antonio, Texas.

The San Antonio Spurs, “the World’s Team,” demonstrated how teamwork, discipline, and consistency beats any day the selfishness of a one or two person team. Despite the lack of services of their ace point guard, Tony Parker, in the second half, the San Antonio Spurs rallied from a seven point deficit at halftime to take a 10 point lead into the fourth quarter only to have the Oklahoma City Thunder tie the game at the end of regulation time, sending it into overtime. The Spurs defense stifled the potent Thunder offensive scoring machine in overtime to earn the win and garner the NBA Western Conference Championship, as well as a berth in the 2014 NBA Finals Championship.

The San Antonio Spurs will seek to avenge their loss to the Miami Heat in the 2013 NBA Finals in this year’s 2014 NBA Finals Championship. Go Spurs Baby!
