Tim Duncan overcame a slow start to finish with 20 points and 14 rebounds, Tony Parker banked in a desperation jumper on a broken play with 5.2 seconds left and the San Antonio Spurs withstood LeBron James' triple-double to beat the Miami Heat 92-88 on Thursday night in a thrilling Game 1 of the NBA finals.
The defending champion Heat had been, and may still be, the favorite to win the best-of-seven series. Obviously, though, Miami isn't headed to a 4-0 sweep. And the Heat's path to a championship is now more difficult. After Sunday's game in Miami (8 p.m. ET on ABC-TV), the action moves to San Antonio for (if they're necessary) the next three games.
