Heat Force Game 7 With 103-100 Victory
The Miami Heat had no more mulligans left to play Tuesday night when Game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals tipped off. It was either win, or the team was on a one-way trip to an early summer vacation. The Heat fought back from a double-digit lead and forced overtime where Miami held the Spurs off just enough to get a 103-100 victory which forces a Game 7 Thursday night.

During the NBA Finals, one player often has to step up in a big way for his team to eventually hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy into the air. For the San Antonio Spurs, the player who has stepped up hasn't been Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobli or Tony Parker; instead, it's been Danny Green.
