This was a finals rematch from the previous NBA season, which Miami won in seven
games, handing the Spurs the franchise's first ever Finals defeat in 2013. This marked
the 12th Finals rematch, but only the fifth since the ABA–NBA merger in 1976. The
Spurs had home-court advantage since the team finished the regular season with a
better record (62–20) than the Heat (54–28). For the first time since 1984, the Finals
was played in a 2–2–1–1–1 format (Games 1 and 2 at home for the higher seeded
team, Games 3 and 4 at home for the lower seeded team, Game 5 at the higher,
Game 6 at the lower, and Game 7 at the higher). The series began on June 5, 2014,
and ended on June 15, 2014.

Game 5 was the last game together for the Big Three as James left to re-join the
Cleveland Cavaliers who made to the Finals in 2015 but lost to the Golden State
Warriors in six games. The departure of James, in addition to injuries and a newly-
revamped roster, contributed to the Heat winning only 37 games, missing the playoffs
for the first time since the 2007–08 season.
