The Mavericks defeated the Heat thanks in large part to the 13 three’s they were able to hit last night. Dallas also shot 56 percent from the field and outscored the Heat 17-4 down the stretch. Of course Dirk Nowitzki lead the way for the Mavericks with 29 points and have the Mavericks 1 game away from an NBA Championship:
The X factor in last nights NBA Finals game 1 was not a member of the Big 3. Rather it was the defense of the Miami Heat against the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavericks were only down a point at the half, but their shooting never improved as they shot 37% for the game. LeBron Jame scored 24 points and Dwyane Wade recorded a double double with 22 points and 10 rebounds. Game 2 is on Thursday night and the Mavericks better step up their game if they hope to get Dirk his ring he deserves. Yes I am rooting for the Mavs:
The Miami Heat advanced to the NBA Finals with a 83-80 victory over the Chicago Bulls last night. With 2 minutes remaining in the game, the Bulls seemed to have pulled off another victory. After key turnovers, missed foul shots and also a 4 point play which Dwayne Wade converted, the Bulls lead vanished:
The Miami Heat have put the pressure on the Chicago Bulls after taking a 3-1 series lead in the 101-93 victory in overtime last night. The Heat turned it on late as they were able to take their first lead in the final minutes of the 3rd quarter. The Heat would not regain the lead until overtime when they scored 16 points and put the Bulls back in their stalls:
The Chicago Bulls did what most people expected them to do last night, take care of the Miami Heat in Game 1. Luol Deng came up huge for the Bulls, scoring 21 points and most importantly held LeBron James in check with 15 points. The Heat stayed close until midway through the 3rd quarter. The Bulls reeled off 10 straight points and would never look back defeating the Heat 103-82:
