10 years ago at this time... Spurs outlast Pistons in 7

It's been 10 years since Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobli won their 2nd title together and Duncan his 3rd ring. They outlasted a Detroit Piston's team which had a awesome starting five; Chauncey Billups, Teyshaun Prince, Ben Wallace, Richard Hamilton and Rasheed Wallace. This starting five was together for six years and was the reason the Pistons made six straight Conference Finals, bringing back the days of the Bad Boys of the late 80's into 1991. The series went back and fourth with the home teams winning the first four games. Robert Horry had things to say about who would win Game 5, as his 3 with 5 seconds left in overtime gave the Spurs a 1 point win and a 3-2 series lead. The Pistons would force a Game 7, but Duncan was too much in the 4th quarter as the Spurs won the title.
