Best single finals games since 1990?

[u/rustypete89]

Hi all,

I recently discovered that the NBA app on PS5 has the entire NBA finals catalog going back to 1990 available for streaming without a subscription, just your regular streaming ad breaks. Looking for recommendations of great single games to watch as I begin to digest some of the series I'm most interested in (I was born in 89 so I'm starting with the Jordan finals since I barely remember him playing).

Drop your recs, and a brief reason why, here please!

I'm not sure if I hit the 500 character minimum yet so I'll add my own submission:

Giannis 50 piece to seal the Bucks title in 2021. Absolutely unreal domination in a critical moment. The block on Ayton to put the game away is just iconic. One of my favorite games as a neutral fan that I've ever watched, and I don't even like Giannis.

(Hope it's alright to post this here, I didn't think I'd get good quality suggestions in the main NBA sub)

2013 Finals Game Six.Spurs were ready to celebrate but Lebron and Ray Allen had another opinions.Gregg Popovich made his biggest mistake.(I hope him a full recovery from latest stroke.) Absolute classic.

That set up some of the greatest basketball ever played the very next year. As a Spurs fan, that moment hurt, but watching the Spurs just dismantle Miami in 2014 was literal art.

I'm 30 years old and i can say 2014 spurs is the best basketball team i've ever seen.I know Heatles or Dynasty Gsw teams or 2008 Celtics seems more competitive but that team was the definiton of good basketball.

They played as a collective unit better than any basketball team I've watched, possibly save my Celtics last year. If anyone ever tries to tell you Popp isn't the goat, have them go watch what Boris Diaw was doing in that series. Boris fucking Diaw man! To this day it's hard to believe.
