That said, if the series gets to Game 7: 14 of 17 Game 7s in Finals history have been won by the home team.
Since 1985, only three teams have swept Games 6 and 7 of NBA Finals. Last one was 2010 Lakers, against Ray Allen's Boston Celtics.

And then there's this: Teams in Spurs' spot (up 3-2 in Finals, with final two on road) have only won 5 of 9 series (via whowins).
Fascinating Vegas note: according to Sportsbet, the Heat are still slight favorites (-130) to win the NBA Finals.

Some context: They were racing. The one laid out, and was waiting for uncle to declare winner. The other said screw that. Already competing.
Pic of Manu's boys brings to mind favorite Captain Jack quote, when asked about two Ginobilis in the NBA: That's a lot of turnovers.
28 Finals MVPs, 26 are in HoF or will be, only Cornbread Maxwell never made All-Star Game. Green has a great chance to crash the party.

Sunday, June 16 Spurs 114, Heat 104. Take 3-2 lead. One win away from fifth NBA championship, but they'll have to get it in Miami.
Spurs 114, Heat 101 with 1:06 to go. Time to call the fight. (Possibly decisive) Game 6 is Tuesday in Miami.
Green up to 25 3s in five Finals games. Unreal stuff. 28 is the all-time playoff record, held by Dennis Scott and Ray Allen.
Parker layup, Duncan blocks LeBron, Manu finds Danny Green for open 3 on the break. Basically the perfect capstone.
Spurs are maybe going to need to score at least two points in the final three minutes to win. Maybe.
Heat are going to lose for only the fourth time this season when forcing 16 turnovers. 102 points from your starters will do that.
Spurs could probably just run out the clock on this win without much offense, if they could stop allowing 3-points per trip.
Goals, in order, if I'm the Spurs: 1) Don't give up 4-point plays; 2) Don't give up 3-pointers; 3) Don't turn the ball over a bunch.
In the first half, Miami rattled off a 12-0 run in about two minutes. They are down 13 with 7:24 to go.
After Game 4: If Wade plays like this, Spurs have no shot. After Game 5: If Manu plays like this, Heat have no shot.
People should be surprised when Diaw has a fighting chance guarding LeBron ... but no more so than when Danny Green does.
Re: Manu retirement. He's been remarkably consistent with "I don't plan on it, but sometimes at low moments it crosses your mind."
Believe Danny Green has also set an NBA record for most 3s in a five-game series, Rex Chapman with 22 in 1997.
To be fair, Manu also missed a truckload of games between then and now with various injuries.
Not sure I've ever heard the Manu chants before. Could be wrong; it's been a long year. But twice already tonight.
20 points and nine assists through three quarters in his first start in more than a year. That is answering the call.
Don't want to get too melodramatic or sappy, but Manu really did deserve to have a game like this. Plays too damn hard to suck that bad.
Manu said he hasn't made up his mind about retirement. Could this really be his last home game? If he can swat a bat, it'd be near perfect.
"I can't imagine what you're feeling right now, Norris." -- Tiago Splitter, maybe in Portuguese.
Might be a little early for this, but feels like next team to really put together a run wins it.
