Spurs Sweep Cavaliers in NBA Finals

Cleveland went on an 11-point run to open the fourth quarter, taking its first lead in any second half of the series against San Antonio. They even gained a 3-point lead, but couldn't hold it. Game Four ended 83 to 82.

Cavs star LeBron James says just getting to the finals is satisfying, but he's got a lot of practicing to do this summer to live up to his fans.

LeBron James: If I don't play well our team's not going to have a good chance to win. You know I have a lot of things to work on to get better for next year.

Cavs fan Kevin Isley from Cuyahoga Falls says while it would have been nice to win at least one finals game, the experience the Cavaliers gained will serve them well.

Kevin Isley: Just gettin' there. Look as San Antonio - they've been there four or five times.

With their win, the Spurs are the fourth team in the NBA to win four titles. The Cavs, meanwhile, are the fourth team to be swept in their first finals appearance. Lisa Ann Pinkerton, 90.3.
