LeBron James says the Miami Heat started seeing red when officials began prepping the court for the San Antonio Spurs' victory celebration with less than a minute left in game six of the NBA finals. With the Spurs ahead by five points, 94-89, with just 28 seconds left in the fourth quarter, American Airlines arena officials began surrounding the playing surface with yellow tape to keep the spectators from rushing the court. James said once the Heat players witnessed the decorations going up they decided the Spurs weren't going to partying on their home court.

By Simon Evans MIAMI (Reuters) - Ray Allen has made more three pointers than any player in the NBA but with five seconds left and his team three points down on Tuesday, he had not made a single one in the crucial Game Six of the NBA Finals. Miami's only hope of keeping their series with San Antonio, and their season, alive was to make a basket from beyond the three point line and LeBron James tried his luck.

There has been only one dramatic contest in the NBA Finals, which has become a best-of-3 series as the San Antonio Spurs host the Miami Heat in Sunday’s Game 5. The Spurs won a close game in the opener and put a 36-point drubbing on the Heat in Game 3, while Miami’s two victories have been by 19 and 16 points. Tony Parker’s hamstring is an issue for the Spurs, while the Heat crave another big effort from Dwyane Wade.

Heat need rare win streak to keep NBA title hopes alive

By Frank Pingue SAN ANTONIO (Reuters) - Stringing together a two-game win streak sounds routine for the reigning champion Miami Heat, but they have failed to do it for more than three weeks and must do so in the NBA Finals or risk losing their crown. A victory in Sunday's Game Five of the best-of-seven series would give the Heat their first winning streak since May 22. A loss would put them in an uncomfortable position of having to win two straight at home to repeat as champions.
