Miami Heat repeat as NBA champions in "The Finals"

Last night, the Miami Heat won the NBA title in an epic game 7 of the 2013 NBA Finals. LeBron James won his second NBA Finals MVP award, as the Heat beat the San Antonio Spurs in Miami. It appeared that the Spurs were going to win the series with a series lead of 3-2, and a six point lead for them with 30 seconds lefts in game 6. But, the Miami Heat sent the sixth game into overtime by hitting a couple of late three pointers. In the overtime session, the Miami Heat came out victorious in their narrow three point win. After the sixth game, the Spurs appeared to be the more tired team. In game 7, the Heat were up by two points, 90-88, in the closing minute. Then, the Spurs could not convert on their final few possessions. The Spurs committed some costly turnovers, which led to Miami winning the game by seven points (95-88). Miami won the series, 4-3. Finally, it’s hard to believe that the NBA season is over.

Eight is not enough for Rafael Nadal

Well, life in Paris for tennis fans is over for 2013. The French Open ended today with Rafael Nadal winning his eighth title at Roland Garros. For the women, Serena Williams overpowered Maria Sharapova in the final yesterday. Serena Williams won her second title at Roland Garros. Sharapova won her semifinal in three sets over Victoria Azarenka, which made Maria less rested for the final. This problem hurt Sharapova in the final. For Nadal, he beat David Ferrer in a quick three sets. It was David's first final in Paris, while Rafa was playing in his eighth one in Paris. Next up for the tennis world is Wimbledon, the third major grand slam of the year. Hope this year's tournament is as good as last year's for Roger Federer & Maria Sharapova. Both of my favorite players (from men's & women's side) need to win this tournament. C'est vrai as the french would say!
