heartbreaking seventh game at home to the rival <a href="/wiki/2006%E2%80%9307_Dallas_Mavericks_season" title="2006–07 Dallas Mavericks season">Dallas Mavericks</a> in the second round. As the new season began, the Spurs saw the Mavericks rolling through their regular season, on their way to a franchise best 67 win campaign. Meanwhile, the Spurs struggled through their season through January. With the main focus lying on Dallas and the <a href="/wiki/2006%E2%80%9307_Phoenix_Suns_season" title="2006–07 Phoenix Suns season">Phoenix Suns</a>, the Spurs found themselves flying under the radar. A late-season surge resulted in a 58–24 regular season record, good enough for third seed in the Western Conference. </p><p>In the playoffs, the Spurs met the <a href="/wiki/2006%E2%80%9307_Denver_Nuggets_season" title="2006–07 Denver Nuggets season">Denver Nuggets</a> and their duo of <a href="/wiki/Allen_Iverson" title="Allen Iverson">Allen Iverson</a> and <a href="/wiki/Carmelo_Anthony" title="Carmelo Anthony">Carmelo Anthony</a>. The Nuggets took game 1, but the Spurs reeled off 4 straight wins to take the series in five games. As San Antonio prepared to face off against the second seed Suns, the top-ranked Mavericks suffered a stunning first-round exit at the hands of the <a href="/wiki/2006%E2%80%9307_Golden_State_Warriors_season" title="2006–07 Golden State Warriors season">Golden State Warriors</a>. With the Mavericks gone, the stakes of the Suns-Spurs series shot up dramatically, and it was a closely competitive and controversial series. </p><p>The Suns had <a href="/wiki/Homecourt_advantage" class="mw-redirect" title="Homecourt advantage">homecourt advantage</a>, but that did not last past game 1. In a hotly contested battle of Western Conference heavyweights, each team tried to deliver a knockout blow. The Spurs finally landed it, but by accident. With the game in the balance <a href="/wiki/Tony_Parker" title="Tony Parker">Tony Parker</a> and <a href="/wiki/Steve_Nash" title="Steve Nash">Steve Nash</a> collided head-to-head. A large gash opened along Nash's nose and the medical staff could not stop the bleeding. He was forced to sit out the final 45 seconds and watch the Spurs win, 111–106. Game 2 saw the Suns rebound and blow out the Spurs, 101–81. After this game, Suns center <a href="/wiki/Amar%27e_Stoudemire" title="Amar'e Stoudemire">Amar'e Stoudemire</a> called the Spurs a dirty team. Game 3 switched back to San Antonio and saw a return of physical play, with <a href="/wiki/Manu_Gin%C3%B3bili" title="Manu Ginóbili">Manu Ginóbili</a> receiving a bruised and bloodied eye and Bruce Bowen kneeing Nash in the groin. <a href="/wiki/Tim_Duncan" title="Tim Duncan">Tim Duncan</a> led the Spurs to a 108–101 victory. </p><p>Games 4 and 5 were the most controversial of the series. The Spurs, after being comfortably in control of game 4, saw their 11-point fourth-quarter lead dwindle away to a 2-point Suns lead. With 18 seconds left, <a href="/wiki/Robert_Horry" title="Robert Horry">Robert Horry</a> bodychecked Nash into the scorers' table. Nash's teammates jumped to his defense; during the ensuing altercation, Stoudemire and <a href="/wiki/Boris_Diaw" title="Boris Diaw">Boris Diaw</a> left the bench. Their action violated NBA rules, and league commissioner <a href="/wiki/David_Stern" title="David Stern">David Stern</a> suspended both players for game 5. Horry was also suspended two games for his flagrant foul on Nash. In game 5, in Phoenix, the short-handed Suns jumped out early to a 16-point lead, but in a reversal of game 4, the Spurs came back in the final seconds and won the game 88–85, giving San Antonio a 3–2 series lead. </p><p>The Spurs won game 6 of the series 114–106 in San Antonio, sending them to their fifth Western Conference finals since 1999. </p><p>San Antonio went on to beat the <a href="/wiki/2006%E2%80%9307_Utah_Jazz_season" title="2006–07 Utah Jazz season">Utah Jazz</a> in five games to advance to the franchise's fourth NBA Finals. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Cleveland_Cavaliers">Cleveland Cavaliers</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=2007_NBA_Finals&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Cleveland Cavaliers"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/2006%E2%80%9307_Cleveland_Cavaliers_season" title="2006–07 Cleveland Cavaliers season">2006–07 Cleveland Cavaliers season</a></div> <p>In the replay of the previous year's playoffs with the Cavaliers holding home court advantage against <a href="/wiki/2006%E2%80%9307_Washington_Wizards_season" title="2006–07 Washington Wizards season">Washington Wizards</a>, the Cavaliers swept the Wizards after the season-ending injuries of both <a href="/wiki/Gilbert_Arenas" title="Gilbert Arenas">Gilbert Arenas</a> and <a href="/wiki/Caron_Butler" title="Caron Butler">Caron Butler</a>.

Again, the Cavaliers had home court advantage, and battled the Nets through 6 games before winning the series. The Cavaliers advanced to the conference finals for only the third time in franchise history, and faced a familiar foe: the <a href="/wiki/2006%E2%80%9307_Detroit_Pistons_season" title="2006–07 Detroit Pistons season">Detroit Pistons</a>, the number one seed in the Eastern Conference, with their home court advantage. This was the same Detroit team that knocked the Cavaliers out of the second round the previous year. Expectations were high after a 7-game series the previous year and the two teams did not disappoint. </p><p>The first two games were close and saw Cleveland fall by identical 79–76 scores. Down 0–2 in the series, the spotlight shifted back to Cleveland and <a href="/wiki/LeBron_James" title="LeBron James">LeBron James</a>. Another hard-fought set ensued, with the Cavaliers taking the two games at home 88-82 and 91-87 respectively. Game 5 switched back to Detroit and produced one of the greatest moments in NBA history. </p><p>With 6:14 to go in regulation and his team clinging to a one-point 79–78 lead, James took over the game. He scored 11 of the final 12 points to end regulation tied 91-91. In the first overtime, James scored all nine of the Cavaliers' points, ending the period tied 100-100. In the second overtime, James again scored all nine of the team's points to win, 109–107. Thus, in the last 16:14 of play, James scored 29 of the Cavaliers' last 30 points, as well as all of their last 25 points. </p><p>The Cavaliers beat the Pistons at home in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals to earn the franchise's first trip to the NBA Finals. Cleveland became the third team in NBA history to win a best-of-seven <a href="/wiki/NBA_Conference_Finals" class="mw-redirect" title="NBA Conference Finals">conference finals</a> series after trailing by 2 games. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Rosters">Rosters</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=2007_NBA_Finals&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Rosters"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="San_Antonio_Spurs_2">San Antonio Spurs</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=2007_NBA_Finals&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: San Antonio Spurs"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <table class="toccolours" style=""> <caption style="background-color: #000000 !important;
