The Heat forced a winner-take-all seventh game by winning an instant classic in Game 6. Ray Allen capped Miami's improbable fourth-quarter rally with a game-tying three-pointer that forced overtime. Despite leading by five points with just 28 seconds remaining in regulation play (and potentially in the series), the Spurs ended up losing in overtime.

"I have no clue how we're going to be re-energized. I'm devastated," Ginobili said after the series-extending loss, via the Associated Press. "But we have to. There's no Game 8 afterward."

The Heat-Spurs series has been a roller coaster ride, filled with clutch shots, surprising performances and blowouts. Through six games, neither team won consecutive games. The Heat aim to change that in front of their fans in Miami -- provided they stay until the end of the game. Meanwhile, Gregg Popovich and the Spurs will look to keep that trend going.

"The best two words in team sports. Game Seven," Spoelstra said after Game 6.
