NBA Finals 2013 Schedule; Heat vs Spurs game 1 time tonight 9 p.m. ET

The NBA Finals 2013 will see the Miami Heat face off against the San Antonio Spurs in the Championship Game. The series will begin tonight.

LeBron James carried the Heat through some of their contests against the hugely competitive Indiana Pacers in their Eastern Conference Finals series, which went all the way to the seventh game.

However, the Spurs made light work in their Western Conference Finals series, winning 4-0, and have had a lot more time off court than Miami coming into the NBA Finals series.

Tickets to the San Antonio Spurs first two home games of the NBA Finals (Games 3 & 4) against the Miami Heat will be available for purchase online at spurs.com on Thursday, June 6 at 10 a.m, according to NBA.com.
