The Ray Allen Shot That Turned Around The Finals – TBT #13
It’s June 18th, 2013. The Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs are playing Game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals. The Spurs lead 3-2 in the series.
On one side, there’s the Miami Heat, which is looking to win its second NBA title in a row with the superstar trio of James, Wade, and Bosh.
Meanwhile, Duncan, Parker, Ginobili, and the rest of the Spurs are one win away from lifting the Larry O’Brien trophy for the first time since 2007.
The score is 95:92 for the Spurs with 10 seconds left on the clock. Lebron James pulls up and shoots a three but misses. Chris Bosh is beneath the rim, catches the ball, and makes the offensive rebound.
Bosh looks for his open teammates and passes the ball to the sharpshooter Ray Allen. After Allen gets the ball, he quickly steps back behind the 3-point line and shoots the ball. He makes the 3-point shot with 5.2 seconds left on the clock, and it’s 95-95 on the scoreboard.
The game went to overtime, and the Heat won, 103-100, tying the series 3-3. Ultimately, the Miami Heat won the 2013 Finals after beating the Spurs 95-88 in Game 7.
It’s safe to say that this clutch Ray Allen shot from Game 6 played a massive role in winning the championship for the Miami Heat.
