That's it, baby. The San Antonio Spurs have beat the Detroit Pistons 81-74. Things looked grim until about 2 minutes into the the 4th quarter and then, something happened. Ginobili makes a dunk and then, for the next 2 and a half minutes or so, the game was a challenge of defense. No one scored. A desperate struggle insued because the Spurs and their fans could see it coming together. Horry sank a 3 at 8:22 then and Detroit must have felt something happening too because they struggled to keep it together for another lag of another nearly 2 minutes until Bruce Bowen made a 26ft three pointer.
This was about where the Fat Lady took her place on the stage. For the last three minutes of the game the Detroit bench looked stunned and saddened because it seemed that they knew what was about to happen. They could almost see their whole season and their whole post season effort swirl down the drain.

When the Buzzer Sounded the Rightful NBA Champms had regained their throne.

SPURS 81-74
