The Dallas Mavericks beat the Miami Heat 86-83 last night and now the NBA Finals is tied up 2-2.The game was close until the Heat took a 74-65 lead early in the 4th quarter. But the Mavs came back and with less than 30 seconds left in the game, Dirk Nowitzki drove in for a lay-up to put the Mavs up by 3. On the next Heat possession, Dwyane Wade drove by Tyson Chandler and dunked it to cut the lead to 1.
After a timeout by Mavs, the ball was inbounded to Jason Terry who was then fouled by LeBron James. Terry then hit two clutch free throws to put the Mavs back up by 3. With seconds left in the game, the Heat inbounded the ball to Wade who fumbled it, but then saved the ball from going backcourt and passed it to Mike Miller who shot up a desperation three at the buzzer that would have sent the game to overtime, but was an airball. The Mavs won 86-83.
Dwyane Wade led all scorers with 32 points and Chris Bosh chipped in with 24. LeBron James only scored 8 points and was 3-11 from the field.
Dirk Nowitzki had 21 points and 11 rebounds, while Tyson Chandler finished with 13 points and 16 rebounds. Shawn Marion scored 16 points on 7-12 field goals. Jason Terry had 17 points and DeShawn Stevenson had 11.
