The Cavaliers (59-14) had a lead of five points at halftime and maintained a margin of three points after three quarters. San Antonio took a brief advantage at 104-102 thanks to a three-point shot by Stephon Castle with 6:25 remaining.

The Spurs (31-41) came close at 117-114 after Harrison Barnes made a layup with just 1:41 left. However, Garland stepped up, sinking a three-point shot followed by a finger roll layup, providing Cleveland with enough of a lead to secure their victory.
