Does the Miami Heat's second straight NBA Championship count if the Russell Westbrook-Kevin Durant combo wasn't in effect? Well it does, but the Thunder could've had a better shot had Westbrook not injure his meniscus during last playoffs.

It doesn't look like the Heat has that much to worry about on the road to the Finals with how weak the games were today. Jeff Teague and the Hawks made No. 1 look like a facadetonight, and it was old man Paul Pierce who helped finish off the Raptors.

But Miami is going to need to put in work if it ends up facing the Thunder. Durant has been a whole new beast during this MVP-worthy season and Westbrook is a man ignited. And together, you get sequences like the one above.
