Leading Off

A FORESHADOWING
Though Cleveland's LeBron James (23) was in the pre-Finals spotlight, Manu Gin�bili (20) and the Spurs lit up the AT&T Center in an 85-76 Game 1 victory that would presage the outcome of the series.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

TROPHY LIVES
The four-game sweep of the Cavs further added to the charmed existences of Tim Duncan (left) and Tony Parker. Duncan won his fourth NBA title while Parker, set to marry actress Eva Longoria, earned his first Finals MVP award.
