The San Antonio Spurs could merely watch last night as the Miami Heat drove their flag just a little farther into the mountain of champions. And of course, it was Lebron James who was holding the hammer.

Going into last night’s game, James was averaging 33.8 points in game 7s, so it came as no surprise when he scored 37 to lead his team to a second straight championship. Taking jump shots, shooting threes and driving to the hoop, Lebron was a question to which the Spurs did not have an answer.

“I work on my game a lot throughout the offseason,” said James, “I put a lot of work into it and to be able to come out here and (have) the results happen out on the floor is the ultimate. The ultimate. I’m at a loss for words.” The performance earned James his second straight Finals MVP honors.

Tim Duncan, who had a valiant 24 points and 12 rebounds in the loss, showed rare physical frustration with his team’s inability to silence Miami’s leader; even slapping the court at one point. “Just give credit to the Miami Heat. LeBron was unbelievable. Dwyane (Wade) was great. I just think they found a way to get it done,” Duncan said. “We stayed in the game. We gave ourselves opportunities to win the game. We just couldn’t turn that corner.” At 37, it’s possible that Duncan may have seen his last shot to win a title.

With the win, Miami became the first team to ever beat the Spurs in the NBA Finals.
