Relive Game 5 of the 2014 NBA Finals in these 9 images showing key moments of the San Antonio Spurs' victory

MANILA, Philippines – The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Miami Heat in Game 5 of the 2014 NBA Finals, 104-87.

The Spurs got their sweet revenge after losing to the same team in the 2013 Finals.

This is San Antonio’s 5th title in the NBA, all of which they won with Gregg Popovich at the helm and All-Star and future Hall of Famer Tim Duncan stamping their class on the game.

This finals series also ushered in the coming of 22-year-old forward Kawhi Leonard, who delivered a solid all-around performance to bag the Finals MVP plum – the youngest to do so since Duncan won it back in 1999.

Below are 9 images that capture the title-clinching Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
