Terry Leads Mavs Over Heat

<sarcasm>
What an awesome game! Amazing performances, it was right down to the wire, a game that will go down in NBA history
</sarcasm>

But in all honesty, not all of the above is false. The Heat will go down in NBA history for the worst free throw shooting in a finals game in NBA history; going 7-19 form the free throw line (with Shaq missing eight of his nine attempts). In a game that had the three superstars (Wade, Shaq, and Nowitzki) plenty of opportunity to improve, Jason Terry stepped it up for the Mavs scoring 32 points on 13-18 shooting.

Jason Terry also scored four three pointers with seven attempts, he scored two quick threes at the beginning of the fourth quarter giving the Mavs a 10 point lead which they would hold until the end of the contest.

…[T]he Heat shut down Nowitzki, played at their own tempo, got 28 points from an ailing Wade and became the first team to outrebound Dallas in the playoffs — and still lost. Like Wade’s legs, they faltered in the fourth quarter, never raising their games to a level befitting the finals. #

Oh and this quote by Stackhouse made me chuckle

“I’ve been opened up quite a bit,” Stackhouse said Friday, pointing to a faint patchwork of various long-healed scars near his forehead. “You see all these on my brows? These were all during games. Three stitches weren’t going to keep me out of this game. Coach (Bernard) Griffith looked at it and said, “It’s OK. You weren’t the prettiest guy anyway.” #
