CLEVELAND (AP) - Rude and ruthless, the San Antonio Spurs ruined Cleveland's 37-year wait to host the NBA finals. Unwelcome guests, they defied the young King and may soon take home another crown of their own. Bruce Bowen, the defensive stopper, emerged as an unlikely offensive star as the Spurs moved within one win of their fourth championship in nine years with a 75-72 win over the Cavaliers on Tuesday night to take a commanding 3-0 lead in the series.
And they did it with only two-thirds of their Big 3 doing what they usually do in one of the lowest-scoring games in finals history.
But they'll take the win, and with one more, they'll be lugging another shiny trophy back to Texas.
