The only reason the Spurs lost the 2013 Finals is because the rules dictate that only one team can be crowned champions.
That’s really all it came down to. These two teams play seven games. Miami won four, San Antonio won three. For the series, the total net scoring margin was five points. In favor of the Spurs.
This was the most evenly-matched series I’ve ever seen. Ever. Full stop. The Spurs did everything necessary to win the title, they were just on the wrong end of some of the flukiest plays in recent memory. There isn’t a reasonable person on the planet that can say that the seven games of the 2013 NBA Finals proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that one team was better than the other.
