Friday's A.M. Hot Clicks
Game 1 is in the books and it was a memorable one. In the end, the Spurs took a 1-0 series lead with a 110-95 victory over the Heat. The game will be remembered for a variety of reasons -- the busted air conditioner, LeBron James' cramp (and the subsequent memes it produced), Gatorade trolling LeBron on Twitter, Jonathan Martin (of all people) trolling LeBron on Twitter, Dwyane Wade's Dream Shake and the Lance Stephenson jokes. But I still can't get over this dunk by 38-year-old Ray Allen, which just proves that Jesus doesn't age.
