Game 1 LeBron James and the
Cleveland Cavaliers entered the 2007 Finals as newcomers. Game 1 was the first NBA Finals appearance in franchise history, and the first for each of its players (other than reserve point guard
Eric Snow). However, the
San Antonio Spurs had been to the Finals in three of the past eight seasons, winning a championship each time. With solid performances by
Tim Duncan,
Tony Parker, and
Manu Ginóbili, the Spurs won the series opener in convincing fashion, limiting LeBron James to 14 points on 4–16 shooting.
Game 2 The Spurs took a stranglehold on momentum in Game 2. The Spurs big three overwhelmed the Cavs and the Spurs led by as many as 29 points in the third quarter. They absolutely dominated game during first 3 quarters and played show-time basketball. A furious 25–6 rally by Cleveland in the final quarter wasn't enough as the Spurs took a 2–0 lead in the series.
Game 3 Rookie
Daniel Gibson started Game 3 in place of the injured
Larry Hughes but scored a series-low 2 points on 1–10 shooting. As a team the Cavs shot only .367 but out-rebounded the Spurs 48–41.
Zydrunas Ilgauskas had a 2006–07 season high 18 rebounds. On the game's final play,
LeBron James missed a potential game-tying 29-foot 3-pointer (which he contested as a foul on
Bruce Bowen). Game 3 was the lowest-scoring Finals game since
1955, with
Tim Duncan of the Spurs having his lowest scoring game in his NBA Finals career, with 14 points.
Game 4 San Antonio started out strong through the first three quarters, leading by as many as 11. Cleveland would stage a rally near the end of the third quarter and the first five minutes of the fourth, scoring 14 consecutive points to take its first second-half lead of the series. However, the Spurs would stage a 12–3 rally of their own to retake the lead and win the series in a 4–0 sweep. ==Award winners==
