The play-by-play felt like an inside joke.
“It's amazing how the whole season can come down to making free throws,” said ESPN’s Mike Breen as San Antonio Spurs guard Manu Ginobili stepped to the free-throw line. Moments later, his teammate, Kawhi Leonard, stood at the free-throw line while the Spurs led by two in the closing minute of Game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals.
The NBA season was suspended 30 days ago, on March 11. Since then, ESPN and NBA TV have been airing old classics. Almost seven years have passed since Game 6, which aired across NBA platforms on March 19 and on ESPN alongside Game 7 on Wednesday.
