The Miami Heat won the 2013 NBA Finals
The Miami Heat won the 2013 NBA Finals, beating the San Antonio Spurs in seven games. It was the Heat’s third championship, and their second in a row. LeBron James was named MVP of the Finals for the second straight year.
The Miami Heat have won the NBA Finals three times
The Miami Heat are an American professional basketball team based in Miami. The Heat compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the league’s Eastern Conference Southeast Division. The Heat play their home games at American Airlines Arena, and have won three NBA championships.
The franchise began play in 1988 as an expansion team, where after a period of mediocrity, they qualified for the NBA playoffs in nine seasons and reached the NBA Finals three times between 2006 and 2014. In 2012, after defeating the Oklahoma City Thunder in five games during the NBA Finals, they captured their first ever championship.
The San Antonio Spurs
The San Antonio Spurs won the 2013 NBA Finals
The San Antonio Spurs are an American professional basketball team based in San Antonio, Texas. The Spurs compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the league’s Western Conference Southwest Division. The team plays its home games at the AT&T Center in San Antonio.
The Spurs have won five NBA championships, more than any other teams in the Western Conference and behind only the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers for the most in NBA history. As of 2019, the Spurs have the third-highest winning percentage among active NBA teams after the Golden State Warriors and Toronto Raptors, having won 22 division titles and 34 conference championships. They have made the playoffs 45 times in their franchise’s history—more than any other team since 1985—and missed only four times (1977, 1982–83, 1997). The Spurs have also captured 19 preseason titles as well as one NBA All-Star Game MVP award.
In 2013, under head coach Gregg Popovich, they won their fifth title after defeating the Miami Heat 4 games to 3 with a come-from-behind victory in Game 6 due largely to historical three-point shooting performance from inventory players Danny Green and Gary Neal that set an NBA Finals record combined with playing shutdown defense that held Miami to mere 33 percent shooting overall for the series while forcing them to take low percentage shots. Kawhi Leonard was named Finals MVP.
The San Antonio Spurs have won the NBA Finals five times
The San Antonio Spurs are an American professional basketball team based in San Antonio, Texas. They are part of the Western Conference in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The team plays its home games at the AT&T Center. The Spurs have won five NBA championships, more than any other team in the NBA history that did not relocate during the league’s existence. With their 2013 win over the Miami Heat, the Spurs became only the fourth franchise in NBA history to win at least five titles, joining the Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, and Chicago Bulls.
