The San Antonio Spurs won the NBA championship behind a devastating all-around effort from Tim Duncan, using a run of 19 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to defeat the New Jersey Nets 88-77 to take the series 4-2.

Duncan finished with 21 points, 20 rebounds, 10 assists and eight blocks for a triple-double. San Antonio won the title for the second time in franchise history, sending David Robinson into retirement with the ultimate present.

Robinson jumped and spun around as he punched his fist in the air and then hugged several teammates after being replaced with 35.6 seconds left.

The fourth quarter was stunning for its turn of events, with the Spurs - after trailing for almost the entire game - using the 19-0 run to take the life out of the stunned Nets.

It was the fifth straight NBA title for a Western Conference team. The Nets showed none of the characteristics of a championship team as the game got away from them quickly.


Coach Byron Scott left several reserves in during San Antonio's big run, letting them play alongside Kenyon Martin as he struggled through one of the worst games of his career, shooting 3-for-23.

I dont know, personally i found the series so incredibly boring. I watched about 15 minutes of the entire series and thats just because it was on in the background.

I wonder which team Jason Kidd will sign with now that he's a free agent.

Time will tell. I hope he picks a good team. But, the team with the largest checkbook will win.

F%#@ing Nets cost me a lot of $$$

how could you have betted on the Nets?

he was probably betting against the spread.

Ha! I bet on Spurs Fifty bucks for me!

I just remembered the bet.

I thought it was boring too, they both sucked and didn't make many good shots which in turn makes it really boring.

I thought it sucked too. Just for the hype ya know?
