The last time there was a Game 7 in the NBA Finals was 5 years ago, and that series has a few interesting parallels to the Lakers/Celtics series. The Spurs and Pistons had played six riveting games, and were as even as two teams could be heading into the deciding game. Detroit, much like the Lakers this year, were the defending champs, and had home court for the final game. The Spurs, much like Boston, had cagey vets who came up big at key moments. Robert Horry was the Spurs savior that night, scoring 21 points in the 4th quarter and overtime, including a big 3 in the final moments to seal the win.

I remember watching this game live, knowing that no matter what Utah did, they were not going to stop Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls from winning their sixth NBA Title. The Bulls did not blow out the Jazz, and Utah had to be heartbroken to get so close for a second consecutive year.

It all started with the Big 5 during the 03-04 NBA season. They were a team compiled with great athletes and tremendous chemistry. After a 54-28 season, the Pistons not only had the best record in their organization since 1997, but ended up winning the NBA Finals 4-1 as the underdogs against the Los Angeles [...]
