The San Antonio Spurs used a 44-18 run beginning late in the 3rd quarter to turn a 2 point lead into a 28 point victory. Tim Duncan scored 37 efficient points. Tony Parker added in 27 points too. The win ended the series and halted the Lakers dynasty from going for 4 titles in a row.

It’s weird rewatching this game and seeing how solemn everyone is. The commentators sounded like the Lakers organization was coming to an end. Shaq played well but I think the Lakers just ran out of gas.

The Spurs offense is so potent that a series ending run can just pop up from nowhere.
