Few are shocked the Spurs beat the Heat in the 2014 NBA Finals.

But not many expected this.

Blowout after blowout after blowout, the Spurs cruised to a 4-1 series win. Despite dropping Game 2 by two points, San Antonio won by 15, 19, 21 and 17 points.

By outscoring Miami by 70 points in the series, the Spurs set a record for point advantage in an NBA Finals. That +70 supplants five Celtics teams from the top of the leaderboard.
