Mavs makes stunning comeback to tie the NBA finals

Miami should have learned from OKC's mistake.

The Dallas Mavericks completed another unbelievable comeback win 95-93 to tie the NBA Finals series at 1-1 after being down by 15 in the fourth quarter last night at the American Airlines Arena and steal homecourt advantage as the series heads to Dallas for Game 3.

Dirk Nowitzki came alive when it mattered the most, scoring consecutive points which included the most important shot of the game, a game winning lay-up with three seconds left for a total of 24 points and Miami ended the game with the missed desperation attempt by Dwayne Wade.

Wade led the Heat with his scintillating performance with 36 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists and LeBron James, who tallied the highest lead of the Heat with a three, scored 20 but once again the duo faces criticism due to premature celebrating.

Jason Terry made up for his relatively quiet Game 1 performance with two crucial jumpers to finish with 16 points and Shawn Marion added 20 points for the Mavericks.

Nowitzki is seemingly not bothered by his left hand tendon injury as he made those crucial shots using his injured hand, as they will try to gain the lead on this series in Game 3 and they will have much crowd support as the series shifts to the Mavericks' turf for the first time.

Heat win Game 1 of the NBA Finals

Another stifling end game blitz.

Dwayne Wade waxed hot towards the end of the game to lead the Miami Heat to a crucial 84-92 Game 1 victory in the coveted NBA Finals in front of their rowdy crowd at the American Airlines Arena in Miami Florida.

Wade scored 7 points in the fourth quarter that he seasoned with a huge block on Shawn Marion and a spectacular alley-oop pass to Lebron James to put the icing on the cake of this huge victory after the Mavericks engaged them in a very close and competitive battle.

Dirk Nowitzki was relatively quiet for the majority of the fourth quarter and his shooting was limited to a 7-18 clip although he scorea total of 27 points and 8 rebounds to lead the Mavs.

Jason Terry started great 12 early points but after that fast start, he wasn't able to add to his production any more and he even missed a crucial three pointer that may have brought the lead down to 5 with 2 minutes remaining.

Dallas might be playing a little underhanded on Game 2 because an X ray showed that Dirk Nowitzki tore a tendon on his non shooting hand but he will play as he tries to rally his team back and avoid a 0-2 hole going back home.

Thunder steals Game 2 to even series

The shock troopers came up big.

The explosive bench of Oklahoma City Thunder gave a huge lift in the home stretch to catapult their team over the Dallas Mavericks to tie the series at 2 apiece with a six point victory106-100 last night in Dallas Texas.

James Harden led the bench with 23 points including a 4 point play to put the Thunder ahead by one by the end of the 4th quarter. Kevin Durant scored 24 markers and they manage to keep in check the offense of Dallas especially down the stretch.

Dirk Nowitzki led all scorers with 29 but he was not as effective as compared to the opener where he scored 48 points and his freethrow attempts were limited to 10 and his only miss from the stripe is a big one, it could have pulled the Mavs within 3 with 36 seconds left.

Serge Ibaka put up energetic defense against Nowitzki and his hustle rubbed off his teammates.

Russell Westbrook was not part of OKC's finishing unit as he lost his cool and can't seem to put his acts together.

Game 3 will be in Oklahoma City in front of the loudest crowds in the league today as they support their young and athletic team try to take the pivotal Game 3 win.
