Spurs beat Heat 104-87 in Game 5 to win NBA title
The San Antonio Spurs have claimed their fifth NBA championship, ending the Miami Heat's two-year title reign with a 104-87 victory that has wrapped up the NBA Finals in five games.
Kawhi Leonard had 22 points and 10 rebounds for the Spurs, and he's also been named the Most Valuable Player in the NBA Finals.
Last year, San Antonio lost to the Heat in the finals.
Point guard Tony Parker
"That's why I say it's the sweetest one, cause it's just unbelievable to win seven years ago and to be so close last year, it was very cruel but that's the beauty of sport, sometimes it's tough and sometimes it can be beautiful like today."
LeBron James has 31 points and 10 rebounds for the Heat.
"I mean mixed emotions, started off very well as a team, you know we had a great first quarter but from that point on you know they were the better team and that's why they're the champions in 2014."
James played well overall in the finals but Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh were unable to score consistently and the point guards Mario Chalmers and Norris Cole underperformed.
Miami is the first team to play in four straight finals since the Boston Celtics in 1984-87.
The Heat's Big Three - James, Wade and Bosh - are all eligible to become free agents in the offseason.
Despite winning the Eastern Conference in each of their four seasons together, it is uncertain if they will return to Miami.
Argentina 2-1 lead over Bosnia & Herzegovina
To the World Cup in Brazil,
Argentina's Lionel Messi scored the winning goal for Argentina, securing a 2-1 victory in their first 2014 World Cup match against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Though happy to get 3 points to start the tournament, Argentina supporters are not thrilled with their team's performance, saying they will have to do better against tougher teams if Lionel Messi and crew expect to advance.
Meanwhile, most fans of Bosnian and Herzegovina say they are proud of their country for putting up a fight against the South American powerhouse and to take part in their country's first ever World Cup.

Martin Kaymer wins the US Open
Germany's Martin Kaymer has coasted to his second Major PGA victory, winning the US Open by eight shots, including a commanding performance in the final round on Sunday.
"I'm very, very satisfied, especially with all of the expectations starting from the first day shooting 5-under par and then shooting another five under par which is very rare at the U.S. Open. A lot of people expect you to win. Sub-consciously, you should win yourself, is what you will think. Especially today was very tough to play."
The former world number one has become the first German to win the U.S. Open, and the seventh player to complete a wire-to-wire victory at the year's second major.
American Rickie Fowler, who played with Kaymer in the final pairing, carded a 72 to finish tied for second at one under, level with compatriot Erik Compton.
Compton also signed off with a 72 in only his second major appearance.
England's Justin Rose, who won last year's U.S. Open at Merion, has finished in a tie for 12th at three over after shooting a 72, one stroke behind Australian world number one Adam Scott (69).
