Miami Heat fans, at least those who could get their hearts restarted Wednesday morning, are looking for anything that might give the advantage to the Heat in Game 7 of the 2013 NBA Finals. It turns out, they have to look no further than the Miami Marlins.
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.
Five things to watch for in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, as the San Antonio Spurs try to clinch their fifth title and end the Miami Heat's reign on Tuesday night:
They lost three times in three months in one of the most overpowering stretches the NBA has ever seen.
The Spurs have long been the NBA's gold standard when it comes to drafting and development, preferring to roll up their sleeves and scour the globe to find the right players to slot into well-defined roles in San Antonio.
A little more than a year ago, the Miami Heat stood on the verge of elimination in the Eastern Conference Finals. The team's heart and the ability of the Big Three were being questioned left and right ahead of Game 6 of the Conference Finals.
When opponents have seen Miami Heat stars LeBron James and Dwyane Wade in the open court on a fast break, the result is usually an easy bucket for the Miami Heat. But in Game 5, Miami's bread-and-butter went stale and helped submarine an otherwise solid effort by the team.
Lost in the hubbub of the Miami Heat being one game away from elimination in the 2013 NBA Finals was a rare feat pulled off by guard Ray Allen in Game 5 of the series.
The Miami Heat dug themselves a hole when they allowed the San Antonio Spurs to go up 3-2 in the 2013 NBA Finals. Heading into Game 6, the Heat face long odds of just getting to Game 7, much less winning the NBA championship.

The Miami Heat have run out of mulligans and face the reality of a second high-profile collapse in the NBA Finals if the team can't right the ship in Game 6 against the San Antonio Spurs.
Manu Ginobili ran onto the floor as fans stood and screamed. He went to the bench, and they chanted his name. The sights and sounds of so many San Antonio spring nights were back Sunday — and the real party might be just a few days away.
It's all right in front of Tim Duncan now, and the big fella can feel it.
The Miami Heat's regular season dominance came on the back of a 27-game winning streak that defined the team's excellence. Coincidentally, the Heat's hope of a championship now rest on whether the team can win just two games in a row.
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.
The Miami Heat are trying to become the best team in basketball with a second straight NBA championship in the 2013 NBA Finals, but is it possible Heat fans should also be concerned about the worst team in baseball?

From time to time, Dwyane Wade will still extend his arms toward a referee in exasperation after not getting a foul call that he thought he earned. He's tried to do it less this season, for three reasons.
It was the compelling story of the NBA regular season, the Miami Heat making their run at the league-record mark of 33 consecutive victories.
Dwyane Wade has never gone the distance in three previous NBA Finals trips.
