The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Miami Heat 104-87 on Sunday night to win the 2014 NBA Finals and claim their fifth NBA championship.

Kawhi Leonard led the way for the Spurs with 20 points. He was also named the NBA Finals MVP.

The Heat were led by LeBron James, who had 22 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists. But it wasn't enough to overcome the Spurs' balanced attack.

The Spurs took control of the game in the second half, outscoring the Heat by 10 points in the third quarter and 12 points in the fourth quarter.

The Spurs' victory gives them their first NBA championship since 2007. It is also their first championship since the departure of Tim Duncan.

The Heat's loss marks the end of an era. They had won two consecutive NBA championships and had been to the Finals four years in a row.

But the Spurs were simply too much for them on this night. Leonard was unstoppable, and the Spurs' defense was stifling.

The Spurs' victory is a reminder that anything is possible in the NBA. Even after losing a legend like Duncan, they were able to rebuild and win another championship.
