In Thursday's opening game of the NBA Finals, Tim Duncan scored 21 points and grabbed 10 rebounds as the San Antonio Spurs went on a game-ending 31-9 run and overtook the visiting Miami Heat 110-95, despite air conditioning failure due to an electrical outage at the AT&T Center which resulted in temperatures reaching 90 degrees.  LeBron James, who paced the Heat with 25 points, suffered from cramps and did not play the final 3:59 of the contest.  Shown here is the Spurs' Tony Parker, who scored 19 points, with the ball.
