Tim Duncan came out on fire to start Game 6 in Miami, dropping 25 of San Antonio's 50 first-half points to go with eight rebounds. In the second half, it looked like the game might go the way the rest of the series has gone, where the team with a third-quarter lead extends the game into a blowout.
But Miami must have finally felt their backs against the wall, because they started hitting shots, getting rebounds and playing excellent defense. It happened right around the time LeBron James lost his headband. He didn't put it back on or find a replacement, and continued to ball out of his mind. He finished with 32 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. A Ray Allen three-pointer, and a Chris Bosh block of Danny Green as time ran out, put the game away in overtime, and the Miami Heat forced Game 7 on Thursday with a 103-100 win.
So here's the real question going forward: Headband or No Headband for Game 7?

He had a triple double…and we were all talking about a headband. RT @Cbrickley603: 32 11 and 10 is normal for Lebron. #fact

Illuminati hit up LeBron like: "When this headband gets knocked off your head, the ritual is complete" LeBron: "Bet"

I like LeBron without the headband. He's got a fresh cut and looks less like a Denver Nugget or Melo.

Lebron no headband, Miller no shoe, Spurs no championship

My man @notthefakeSVP makes a great point. How great would it have been if LeBron followed the lost headband by stripping off his sleeve?

Our superb NBA crew doesn’t need my help. But Coach Spoelstra should say who sees more Game 7 time: Birdman, Battier or LeBron’s headband.

LeBron James had 10 of his 32 after getting his headband knocked off. Here's video of when it happened http://t.co/YXbuUweOJE

no. RT @Bang4UrBuk: Can we make "the headband game" a thing?

LEBRON SHOULDN'T B ALLOWED TO PLAY WIT NO HEADBAND THAT'S A DISADVANTAGE FOR OPPONENTS

In final 17 minutes? Spurs were just 9/28 and two were Splitter heaves, one Kawhi on broken play. Heat? 14/23 (60.9%) w/ 8 asts on 14 FGs.
