Game 6- A monumental collapse, a sleeping Giant awakes

Stop the presses, cork the champagne, and put the trophy back in its case; it aint over yet. Just when you think the Spurs have victory within their grasp the Heat pull one out of the fire (no pun intended). It looked like midway through the fourth quarter LeBron rolled out of bed, yawned, stretched, took of his headband and went straight into Beast mode. He emphatically answered all the critics who say he does not have that extra gear or that killer mentality. LeBron aside, what on earth happen to the Spurs? Arguably the most poised team we've seen in the last 15 years completely derails down the stretch. Sure there was some questionable moves made by Pop that can be scrutinized but regardless, it was a very out of character finish by the Spurs. So the question remains: did the Spurs lose the game, or did the Heat win it? I'm going to say a little of both, the Spurs were flawless up until the very end where the Heat were able to steal the momentum and make some very crucial plays- Bosh with the offensive rebound and kick out to Allen that sent the game into overtime, and Bosh's determined block on Danny Green at the buzzer. My question to the Spurs is: how do you recover from such a heart wrenching loss and bounce back for a Game 7? If your the Heat how do you keep that momentum going into Game 7 after expending so much energy and effort in Game 6? I'm not sure if Game 7 can top what we saw in that epic Game 6 but we should be in for another good one.
