Kawhi Leonard (named series Most Valuable Player) scored 22 points and grabbed 10 rebounds on Sunday night as the San Antonio Spurs overcame an early 16-point deficit and overwhelmed the visiting Miami Heat 104-87 to win game five of the NBA Finals and clinch their fifth league crown (their first since 2007) four games to one.  LeBron James scored 31 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for the Heat as their dream of a third straight NBA championship was doused.  Here are the happy Spurs with the Lawrence O'Brien Trophy.
