Unwelcome guests, the San Antonio Spurs defied the young King and may soon take home another crown of their own.

Bruce Bowen, the defensive stopper, emerged as an unlikely offensive star as the Spurs moved within one win of their fourth championship in nine years with a 75-72 win over the Cavaliers on Tuesday night to take a commanding 3-0 lead in the series.

Bowen, who had just nine points in the first two games, scored 13 on the night.

The Spurs can wrap up their third title in five years with a win in Game 4 on Thursday night.




The Buzz
It may have been one of the lowest scoring games in Finals history, but the Spurs weren't too upset about it. Brent Barry told reporters after the game, "We weren't happy with the way we played, but we're happy with the win." Other players joked about the "ugly" game, but reminded the forgetful media that a win is, in fact, a win. And the Spurs are one "W" away from ending the series, and their season.
