D-Wade blocks a Marion mid-range jumper, and then moments later connects on a dagger three-ball!

Miami leads 82-73 with 3:24 to go.

James - 19 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists
Wade - 22 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists
Bosh - 16 points, 9 rebounds

With 1:36 to go, Miami still lead - 85-79.

Nowitzki has been very good and is not going down without a fight. He has a game-high 27 points to go with 7 rebounds.

Big game 1 win to Miami who finished all over the top of Dallas who led for most of the first half, eventually winning 92-84.

The big three for Miami led the way:

James: 24pts, 9reb, 5ass
Wade: 22pts, 10reb, 6ass
Bosh: 19pts, 9reb, 3ass

They had decent help from Chalmers who had 12 points.

For Dallas, Nowitzki had a game-high 27 points alongside 8 rebounds and 2 assists. Marion ended with 16 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists. Terry was next best with 12 points on only 3/10 shooting.

Dallas went just 25/67 from the field for the game. Their bench went a paltry 4/22 from the field and did not make a shot in the second half.

Dallas have arguably the best scoring bench in the league this past season...surely they will not be that bad again in game 2?

One could argue Nowitzki was #1 but he had very little support apart from Marion. But as he was in the losing team you would be confident of nominating as James was #1 and a raffle between Wade and Nowitzki at #2 & #3...

Bad news for Mav's fans...Dirk has a torn finger tendon...at least it is on his non-preferres shooting hand.

Dirk Nowitzki has torn finger tendon

Nowitzki suffered the injury when he was called for a foul after stripping Miami's Chris Bosh with 3:44 remaining in the fourth quarter.

I thought considering how many cheap shots the Mavs missed and how many rebounds they gave up they did well, i'm confident that they have the depth to take this over the Heat....god i hope so.
