NBA Finals – Mavs Take Game 5 112-103.

Last night was game 5 of the NBA Finals at American Airlines Center in Dallas TX. The series was tied 2-2, and before the series heads back to Miami, the Mavs took the series lead 3-2 after a 112-103 win last night.

The game was very close through the whole contest, with much of the spot light on Lebron James, because of his actions in game 4. James responded by getting a triple-double, yet couldn't lead the Heat down the stretch when they needed him, but Dirk Nowitzki who lead the Mavs with 29 points, was not the one who put the Heat away. That title belongs to the Jason Twins, Jason Kid and Jason Terry who combined to score 13 points in the fourth quarter to put away the Heat, after the Heat went on a 9-0 run in the middle portion of the quarter, but the Mavs responded by going on a 17-4 run to close out the game. Game 6 Sunday 8 ET at American Airlines Arena in Miami FL.
