Miami Heat vs San Antonio Spurs Live Stream Free: Watch Online NBA Finals 2014 Game 5 (ABC TV Start Time)

The Miami Heat will play the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals 2014 Game 5 on Sunday with LeBron James and the Heat looking to fight off elimination and take the series to a Game 6. Tonight's game will take place at the AT&T Center in Texas and has a scheduled start time of 8 p.m. ET. The game can be watched on TV on the ABC network or online through free live stream (details below).

The Heat come into Game 5 being 1-3 down, knowing that one more defeat would see the Spurs steal their title away from them.

Putting it bluntly; the Heat have not been good enough so far in this NBA Finals series. Over the first four games they have not yet hit triple figures on the scoreboard, and if they cannot improve it is highly unlikely that they would be able to claim three straight wins from here on out to win back the title.

The Spurs know they have a fantastic opportunity to close out the win tonight on their home court. They hold a commanding 3-1 lead and have dominated the Heat in a surprisingly easy way throughout the series. Over Games 3 and 4 they have averaged a 20-point margin of victory, so the Heat have not even been close.

For the Heat to come back into this series they will have to make history; no team in NBA Finals history has ever come back from 1-3 down to win the Finals.

Until now the Spurs offense has easily picked apart the Heat's defense, and Miami simply have had no answer. Even though the Heat have tried to impose themselves and pressure the Spurs' offense, they have been disorganized, and it has been all too easy for the Spurs to find gaps and create open shot opportunities.

The Spurs have only lost two games on home court this entire postseason; once to the Dallas Mavericks, and once to the Heat in Game 2. They will be big favorites to close things out tonight and win the title.
