Heat need rare win streak to keep NBA title hopes alive
Reuters - Sat, Jun 15, 2013
By Frank Pingue SAN ANTONIO (Reuters) - Stringing together a two-game win streak sounds routine for the reigning champion Miami Heat, but they have failed to do it for more than three weeks and must do so in the NBA Finals or risk losing their crown.

A loss would put them in an uncomfortable position of having to win two straight at home to repeat as champions. "If we don't do two, we won't win a championship. I wasn't that smart in school, but I do know that. ... More »Heat need rare win streak to keep NBA title hopes alive
