THE MIAMI HEAT beat the San Antonio Spurs 103-100 in overtime in Game 6, forcing a Game 7 tomorrow in Miami.

It was one of the most amazing games in NBA history. Miami looked dead in the water twice.

They were down 10 points to start the 4th quarter, but LeBron James took over and gave them back the lead with three minutes left. They were also down five points in the final minute, but they got two clutch 3-pointers in the final 20 seconds of regulation to force overtime.

Magic Johnson called it one of the two or three best games ever on the ESPN postgame show. That’s hard to argue with.

Here’s everything you missed:

San Antonio were up 10 points to start the foutth quarter. But Mike Miller lost his shoe, hit a wild 3-pointer, and sparked a Heat comeback early in the quarter (via @cjzero).

A few minutes later, LeBron lost his headband. He left it off, and took over the game. He ended up with 32 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds.

Miami was down 95-92 with 5 seconds left. After Chris Bosh got an offensive rebound, he kicked it out to Ray Allen, and Allen sunk a miracle contested 3-pointer to force OT (watch the full video here).

In overtime, the game slowed down considerably. The Spurs turned it over on three of their final four possessions:

It was 103-100 in the final seconds when Danny Green had a look at a 3-pointer, but Chris Bosh blocked it at time expired (via @cjzero).
