Inside Game 5 of the 2014 NBA Finals

Inside Game 5 of the 2014 NBA Finals


San Antonio is known for a few things: the Alamo, the River Walk and the Spurs. In 2014, as was the case last year, the NBA Finals saw the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs battle it out for basketball glory, though this time, the team from Texas had the benefit of home-court advantage. For Game 5, which San Antonio ultimately won, the AT&T Center was a full house (it always is, really), packed with fans and a ton of broadcasters, journalists and other members of the media from all over the world. So what's it like behind the scenes? Let's find out.



Lots of cables, broadcasting cameras, DSLRs and more -- the official NBA hoop plays home to all of them.




A Grass Valley HiSpeed camera rests on the court, ready to feed you those LeBron James and Kawhi Leonard mind-blowing plays.




The view from the AT&T Center press box, where journalists from around the globe gathered to bring you the latest from the NBA Finals as it was happening.




Aside from the court, this is, arguably, where the rest of the magic happens.




Inside the locker room, an itty-bitty GoPro peeks during an interview with 2014 NBA Finals Champion Manu Ginobili.




No shame on this game. Yes, folks, videos taken with an iPad are a thing even during NBA Finals press conferences.




This is the Spurs' other high-powered artillery, used to shoot free T-shirts at the fans. It's efficient, much like the Spurs team itself.




After a long night, it's safe to say this Nikon shooter deserves a break.




Game 5 may have already been over, but the show had to go on for the folks from NBA TV. Finals MVP Leonard and Ginobili were among the players who showed up on set to fulfill duties required by the league.




And it's a wrap. Let's take this gear, get back to the World Cup and start getting ready for NFL season.
