"Legend in 2-games like I'm Pee Wee Kirkland..."
Pusha T - Grindin'
The Mavericks evened the series at 1, in a Game 2 that the Heat would like to soon forget.
At the conclusion of the first match, I wrote that the pressure would be on Miami to tighten up the series and go up 2-0, however the only thing the road team wants to do in these situations is to steal a game, and go back to their building with the home court advantage.
Never say Never
Despite 36-points, 5-rebounds, and 6-assists from Dwyane Wade, and 20-points with 8-rebounds from LeBron James...the Mavs were able to overcome the barrage and some costly turnovers for a 95-93 victory.
This proved to be a much more exciting game, as Dirk Nowitziki provided some late game heroics scoring all his team's points down the stretch. Shawn Marion and Jason Terry added 20 and 16-points respectively to keep Dallas within striking distance as the Heat surged to a double digit lead.
The game was sealed on a left-handed Nowitziki lay-up, nonetheless...the Mavericks won the rebounding battle, and out scored Miami's bench 23-11.
Sunday is the pivotal swing game, and just like before...the onus is on Miami to prove themselves and take charge.

Nobody should be surprised. That finger had nothing to do with Dirk's play. They are professionals. It's like that man who created Nike. No matter what's going on in his life...He still makes great decision to keep his company EPIC...these things don't change the game. It's 1-1 and it's makes it more fun to watch and pay attention because honestly....it would be bad for sports business if it ended too fast. remember...NFL has their lockout...ain't nothing to do after this...LoL
I agree, this series can shape up to be really good. The pressure has been on Miami to show and prove. Nevertheless, both teams are good enough to win it all, so we will soon see.
