Best words in sports, there will be a Game 7. The Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs will meet one last time of the 2013 NBA Finals. We don't want you to miss that game, so here's game time, date and what you can expect as there is no better ending to this exciting series. 

Date: Thursday, June 21

Time: 9 p.m. ET

The Heat can thank a couple of players for the win in Game 6. LeBron James was desperate.  He transformed into a different player in the final period of Game 6. He scored 16 points in the last 12 minutes and received a lot of pickups from his teammates as James lost his game in the closing plays of the fourth quarter. Ray Allen hit the game-tying three leaving just :05.2 seconds left in regulation and forcing the game into overtime. The man who grabbed the offensive rebound and was awarded the assist, Chris Bosh. He also picked up a huge block on Tony Parker in overtime. Bosh then closed out his double-double with a block on Danny Green to save the game from going into double overtime.

The Spurs gave the game away at the free throw line. They missed seven free throws after going 21-28 from the line. The biggest free throws missed came, first, in the fourth quarter with 28.2 seconds remaining and Manu Ginobili made only 1-2 free throw shots. James followed with a three, making it a two-point game. In the following possession, the Heat followed and then missed the second pivotal free throw. With the score 95-92 and the Spurs about to celebrate, Allen hit his game-tying three and the Heat were able to stay alive. In overtime, Tony Parker then missed another free throw. Instead of making the game 101-97, it was a three-point game and the Spurs never scored again. 

Magic Johnson and the ESPN crew is already crowning Miami as they believe the Spurs can't come back to win Game 7. The security guards were already on the floor and the trophy was coming making its way to the court. However, the Spurs couldn't close out as the Heat came roaring back from a double-digit lead and rallied back to win a two-possession game with :28.2 seconds remaining in regulation. 

Don't miss the live action as Game 7 looks to be another classic.
