These crazy finals are leaving fans on both sides praying before tonight’s Game 7, but the San Antonio Express-News took it to church in its pages today.

As CopyDesk.org points out, this was a special pullout poster in today’s paper:

The full-page pictorial accompanied a story about a group of Catholic nuns praying for the Spurs before every game.

“We want them to win,” Sister Rosalba Garcia told the paper. “They have a very open way of thinking and playing the game. They think of each other.”

We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If Miami New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.

$30,000

Unfortunately, as far as we know, the Heat does not have a group of nuns reaching out to the big fan upstairs, but that’s OK, because the team has Hialeah Heat fan San Lazaro in its corner.
