It was for all the marbles. It’s more known
as the do-or-die match, or sudden death, or much simpler term, “the decider.” This
is the Game 7 of the Championship series of the National Basketball Association
between the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs. The very last game of the
2012-2013 NBA season. One last game to play. One last game to watch. To witness
the last two teams standing at that point.
One will rise and one will fall. One will
earn a legitimate bragging right, one will lose it. One will rise in the
history, while the other falls and will end their season on a broken note, as
both legacies will be on the line. There’s no such thing as “records,” “statistics,”
and even the so-called “winning tradition.”
