The Spurs' Fourth Quarter: The Real Story We Should Remember from Game 1 of the NBA Finals
While everyone was talking about the malfunctioning AC and #CRAMPGATE, the Spurs went and had one of the best quarters in history.

There were almost five full days between the end of the Western Conference Finals and the beginning of the NBA Finals. We all had more than enough time to speculate about how the Spurs and Heat

Ginobili was the only Spur to take a shot in the frame and not convert any, going 0 for 1 from the field (he's that one red spot above). But he’s forgiven for dishing out six assists in the quarter. Beyond that, Tony Parker was 3 for 4 and everyone else was perfect. The Spurs got 1 for 1 from Boris Diaw, 4 for 4 from Danny Green, and 2 for 2 apiece from Kawhi Leonard, Tiago Splitter, and Duncan. Parker hit one of the threes, Kawhi chipped in two, and Green chucked in three (he must've gotten the memo about activating Finals mode).

While the next few days will likely be filled with anecdotes about hydration, arguments about masculinity, and whole lot more heat puns, try not to forget one thing: We just witnessed one of the best quarters in NBA history, and that’s what's worth remembering.

Is it Sunday yet?
