After losing 125-95 in San Antonio earlier in the season, the Miami Heat wanted revenge and boy did they get it. They handed the Spurs their worst loss in nearly 6 years and returned the favor with an identical margin of victory.

The Miami defense was all over the Spurs and held them to 38% shooting. While Duncan shot well, he only scored 14 and had just 6 Rebounds. Gary Neal and George Hill combined for 3/19 shooting and Tony Parker led the team with just 18 points.

The Miami offense, on the other hand, was cooking, especially the big 3. Bosh led the way with 30 Points, Dwyane Wade had 29 and LeBron James added 21. After a competitive 1st quarter, Miami started pulling away and eventually crushed them in the 4th quarter. The season would ultimately end in failure for both, as the Number 1 seed Spurs lost in the 1st round and the Heat were stunningly upset in the NBA Finals by the Dallas Mavericks.
