Jimmy Kimmel Game Nights Recap: From Arcade to ‘Mini’ Basketball

By Andrew Gilstrap

ABC again ran half-hour Jimmy Kimmel Game Night specials revolving around each game of the NBA Finals. If you’re on the East Coast, you’d see the episodes before the Finals game; if on the West Coast, you could catch the Kimmel special after the game.

Best 7-Game Series Ever?

The Miami Heat took Game 7 at home last week and their second championship in a row. They went back and forth with the San Antonio Spurs for most of the game but pulled away in the last few minutes, winning 95-88. It was all done without a single point from Chris Bosh.

No Shoe, No Headband, No Problems…Well, a few Problems

The Miami Heat tried almost every way they could Tuesday night to give away Game 6 and the championship. The game, which became an instant playoffs classic, went into overtime and the Heat emerged victorious by a score of 103-100, forcing a Game 7, with no nails left unbitten.

It feels like eons since the San Antonio Spurs last played a game.

At last, on Thursday evening, they’ll get to suit up against the Miami Heat for Game 1 of the 2013 NBA Finals.
