The Spurs have just beaten the Suns 101 - 95 to advance to the Championship to face either the Heat or the Pistons.
Duncan top scored for the Spurs with 31 points, 15 boards and 4 assists.
While for the Suns Amare racked up 42 points, 16 boards and 2 assists.
I think this proves that it doesn't matter how much a team can score (suns) if you don't play D you won't win in the finals.

Good point, the tempo of finals to way different to the tempo of regular season games. Playoffs are all about scrapping and tuff-arsed defence, hence the Pistons last year.
I was surprised by the series, I thought it would of gone to 7.
Manu for Finals MVP, or maybe Wade is the heat get past the pistons/
Thanks for screwing that one up for those of us who will watch it tonight !! You could've bloody written Spurs v Suns or something. Thanks again.
