Cleveland – San Antonio Series — Youth vs. Experience

The NBA Finals features two teams with many similarities. First, you have teacher Greg Popovich and his student, Mike Brown, former assistant under Pop in San Antonio. Brown and Cleveland General Manager Danny Ferry, who was an executive with San Antonio before landing in Ohio, have tried to mold the Cavs in the shape of the Spurs.

Defense is the name of the game for both teams with the Spurs ranking second in the league in defensive efficiency with the Cavs not far behind at fourth. Offensive efficiency is where San Antonio has a significant edge over Cleveland.
