Finley entering the game in the fourth.
Everybody in the country knew the ball would find its way into his hands behind the three-point line (except for the Suns' coaches).
There were a bunch.
Mine had to be immediately after the black eye, Manus drive sideways from the corner into the key, stop n pop from 8 feet as Raja went tumbling to the floor. Along with the sequence of GNob next hitting all three FTs and then a trey.

Altho Fins was 1-9 up to that point, that was nails.
I was just as impressed by Fins gamewise n-o-t shooting, making the right passes (especially the oop to Duncan) and playing consistent hustle D.
Definitely the kick out three to Finley. That was the Suns' death rattle.
1. The Bowen three in front of the suns bench. He shut those f'ers up. Classic
2. Timmy's turnaround, fallaway, baseline bankshot.
That is the first thing that came to my mind.
Also that and-1 that Tony kinda threw up int the 3rd quarter (I think).
1) Bowen kicking Nash in the nuts.
2) Bowen's cold 3 and the stare down.
He has been my fav player throughout this era
I was so PSYCHED for Manu when he made that first shot after the eye-scratch!
But my favorite shot was in the fourth quarter, when Duncan put his head down and charged like a bull for the basket and the and-one. I think that said it all. Tim is going to get that 4th Championship and the Heat/Mavs are just lucky Duncan had plantar fasccitis last year in the Playoffs. A healthy and aggressive Tim Duncan is a thing of wonder!
When Duncan lowered his head and took it right at Kurk Thomas late in the fourth for an And-1. That play was HUGE!!
Bruce's three right in front of the Suns bench. That was ing classic.
Duncan putting the moves on Thomas late in the fourth and fading away on the baseline for the bank. Thomas looked very dejected after like "WTF!" Duncan has been a beast this series.
Bowen draining the 3 in front of the Suns bench. I do have to admit, that was the best defense I've seen Black Charmin play in this series and he did it from the bench. Impressive!
Duncan's and-1s, Manu's revival, Bowen's three and stare, Fin's redemption three, Oberto drawing the offensive foul, Amare's blown dunks.

That was a great sequence.
I love how Amare points at himself after the staredown like "who me?" Bowen is like "yeah you, . I own YOU!"
TD block on Amare
TD turnaround, fallaway, baseline bankshot
amare got bowenedin classic

Manu tearing it up in the 3rd, that step back 3-pointer.
I'm not saying other teams don't engage in such behavior on the bench, but I don't recall ever seeing this Spurs team PLUS a towel boy or whatever role that other goof plays, stand up, nearly lean on the court to scream in a players' ear before he shoots.
Talk about unprofessional! That was just flat out dumb and weak. I'm surprised the bench didn't get a tech on that one!
Bruce flat out owns that water boy, Amare, Barbosa and whomever else now.![]()
Barry 3 pointer that started the run
TD's and 1 over Kurt Thomas
Amare's 4th foul, it was a flop, but what a flop! Just an overall intelligent play by Oberto. It showed how low a bball IQ Amare has, and that brain trumps brawl, even in basketball.
I don't need to include Duncan in this list.
1. Bowen's 3 near the Suns bench.
2. Manu, fake-drive, step-back and the 3. (Manu just froze Raja on that one.)
3. Horry's 3.
