San Antonio, when they traveled up to Cleveland to take on the Cavaliers last night, knew of all things that Game 3 would be the toughest one yet & with good reason: a raucous home crowd, the simple fact that the Cavs are on their home turf...an unusually high amount of electricity which could give Cleveland more than just a psychological edge over the Spurs. To be honest, Game 3 would either turn the tide in the Cavs' favor or give the Spurs a chance to close in on a sweep.
After last night's 75-72 defeat of the Cavaliers, San Antonio is one step closer to grabbing all the Championship hardware as well as a sweep of this series (along with their third title in 5 years). And no team in NBA Championship playoff history, if our memories serve us well, has ever climbed out of a 3-0 hole to claim a championship either. Which makes the Spurs' win all the more exciting. From the looks of things, despite not playing their best hoops, the prize is there for the Spurs to take without contest; only question is, can they win another game in one of the toughest NBA arenas around to make this possible?
It's not beyond Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, etc. to pull off an undisputed sweep. As for Lebron James, the most likely savior on his home court, he simply couldn't rescue his team when the going got tough. Chances are Game 4 may be the last gasp of air, or if you will, the last shot of redemption Cleveland has to even remotely challenge this hoops juggernaut called San Antonio. So far, the Cavs have a huge chip on their shoulder to knock off & the going will get no easier this time around for either team.
