The Dallas Mavericks were marvelous. They withstood a slow start by start Dirk Nowitski and made a team effort to beat back the Miami Heat to win game 6 and the NBA title. Lebron James, DWade and Chris Bosh seemed to wilt under the pressure of winning that dream title. Dallas won the game, and players like Jason Kidd and Dirk Nowitski received some vindication as great players who were able to win the title. Jason Terry came up strong scoring 27 points while Dirk scored 21, ten in the 4th quarter.
The Heat were outplayed by a fierce Dallas team that refused to wilt under the pressure. They got the loose balls, made the free-throws, hit the open treys, and fed the man for the score. They did the things winning team do, and walked away with a NBA trophy. Nowitzki was named MVP of the Finals for his outstanding play.
In this game, the other guys stepped up. Look at Shawn Marion, Jason Kidd, Terry, and J.J. Berea. They all made plays. Mahimi hit a shot before the end of the third quarter that showed it could be Dallas' night. They held off the big 3 and held onto their dreams.
