Intro:

Veteran power forward Tim Duncan said the San Antonio Spurs have a 'bad taste in their mouths' ahead of the NBA Finals clash with Miami Heat, which starts on Thursday; a rematch of last year when the Heat won an enthralling series 4-3. Duncan scored the last seven points for the Spurs as they recorded a thrilling 112-107 overtime victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday.

Script:

SOUNDBITE (English): Tim Duncan, San Antonio Spurs centre, on whether they are ready to face Miami:

"We were ready last year too. We were, people keep talking about it like we weren't close to winning it -- we were ready last year and we couldn't get over that hump. We're happy to be back here this year, we're happy to be, have another opportunity at it, we're happy that it's the Heat again... We'll be ready for them, we've got some experience obviously from last year against them and we'll go back and look at some film and we've got that bad taste in our mouths still so hopefully we'll be ready to take it this time."
