The Boston Celtics added their 17th championship banner to an already historic franchise. They completed what everyone expected at the beginning of the season.
But, for us, their defense proved to be something astonishing to watch. Paul Pierce’s Celtics are tough, and though we have no love for his team, we’ve gotta give a little cred to the longtime Angeleno. Kiss our butts, Bill Simmons. Lakers will be back next year. Boston 131, Celtics 92. |

In a decisive Game 6 that capped one of the most stunning turnarounds in NBA Finals history, the
Heat finished off the Dallas Mavericks and showed themselves to be worthy of being crowned champions by
riding their young superstar to the first title in franchise history with a 95-92 victory Tuesday night.
Wade didn't quite score 40 this time, as he had twice before in this series, but he came awful close with
36 points and avoided a nightmare finish after blowing a pair of free throws with 9.1 seconds left to
give the Mavericks one final chance. |

Dirk Nowitzki scored 29 points for Dallas but was barely a factor in the fourth quarter, scoring two points
from the line. With Dallas trailing by three and the clock ticking inside 20 seconds, Nowitzki passed the
ball off to Erick Dampier, leading to a turnover. The big German never touched the ball again, a disappointing
finish to a disappointing quarter and a disappointing series for Dallas' best player.
At the end of the night, Wade would take home the Finals MVP trophy and proved himself worthy in this series
of carrying the superstar label that's bestowed upon him.
