Is it true that the Spurs had double digit leads in the 2nd half of every game but only won one?

In all the losses that I watched, they quit getting it to Wemby in the paint in the second half. He seemed a bit tired as well. Way too much distance shooting for a team that's winning. They were also struggling to keep him in a rim protection mode. I wonder if they need a thick power forward to take some of the pushing and shoving

Has any NBA champion ever won 3 games in a row to come from behind in the series to win? I honestly don't know.

In the NBA Finals, only 1 team has come back from a 3-1 deficit:

Cleveland over Golden State in 2016.

That was once in 38 tries.

In general, I think only 2 teams in the modern era have been down by 2-0 or 2-1 in a Finals series and rattled off 3 straight wins to take the title:

Miami over Dallas in 2006 (actually won 4 in a row)

Golden State over Cleveland in 2015

Westbrook for Miami is still drawing fouls on the Mavericks 20 years later. If only Cuban could have kept quiet for another 2-3 games. Maybe the refs wouldn't have felt the need to make a statement

I will never understand the urge to celebrate by destroying things

UPDATE PER NYPD: Midtown Manhattan descended into chaos after Knicks Game 5.

Ten officers injured. One punched in the face, another struck with a glass bottle.

A shooting at 43rd and Broadway wounded a 17-year-old. Crowds took over 43rd Street so completely that no ambulance… pic.twitter.com/TOaxOpmKTT

Blue cities are often very uncivilized in a variety of circumstances. This is what happens when Marxist politicians promote crime by refusing to punish criminals. They prefer to punish the innocent (babies in the womb, children in general, taxpayers, law abiding citizens, gun owners, etc).
