San Antonio Spurs Take Game 3

What was possibly the best chance for the Cleveland Cavaliers to win a game in these NBA Finals ended in a 75 to 72 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. LeBron James led all scorers with 25 points to go a long with 8 rebounds and 7 assists. The Spurs again played excellent defense all night. A perfect example of the Spurs playing great defense was the terrible shooting night of the Cavaliers new starting point guard, Daniel Gibson. Gibson shot 1-10 from the field and finished with only 2 points. Not a great upgrade over the guy he replaced, Larry Hughes. The "Big 3" of the Spurs, with the exception of Tony Parker, played poorly. Tony Parker led the Spurs with 17 points, while Tim Duncan only scored 14 , and Manu Ginobli only had 3. So you can see why Cleveland really needed to take advantage of this opportunity. Game 4 will be on Thursday night and I expect the Spurs to complete the sweep. This has been quite a learning experience for the young Cavs and King James.
