Finals Game 5: Dallas M. - Miami Heat 112-103
Date: June 9, 2011
In the fifth installment of a taut, twisting series that is seemingly redefining legacies by the hour, Jason Terry extended himself, extended his arms, soared around the court and carried the Dallas Mavericks to their biggest victory in franchise history. On a night that offense finally prevailed in the N.B.A. finals, Terry was the Mavericks’ clutch-time savior Thursday, fueling a fantastic late run that propelled them to a 112-103 victory over the Miami Heat and a 3-2 lead in the series. The Mavericks now stand one win away from the first championship in franchise history, but will have to claim it in Miami, where Game 6 will be played on Sunday (and Game 7, if necessary, on Tuesday). The final buzzer brought raucous cheers in the stands, but just satisfied smiles on the court. If the Mavericks were cautious, it is because they have come close before, blowing a 2-0 lead against Miami in the 2006 finals. “We couldn’t celebrate tonight, even though it was a big win for us,” said Dirk Nowitzki, who could certify his Hall of Fame career with his next victory. “The series is not over.” Nowitzki led the Mavericks with 29 points, but it was Terry’s late 3-point shooting and playmaking that knocked Miami out. Eight of his 21 points came in the final 3 minutes 23 seconds, all with LeBron James shadowing him. Terry hit two 3-pointers — and dished to Jason Kidd for another — in a 15-3 run to close the game. “It’s my job,” said Terry, whose nickname is Jet and who celebrates big shots by flying around the court, arms outstretched. “All season long, ever since I’ve been a Maverick, I’ve been the guy in the fourth quarter they depended on to either make plays or make shots. So I really relish in that role.” James and Dwyane Wade generally enjoy that role as well, but they came up surprisingly short again. James bounced back from poor Game 4 with a triple-double — 17 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists — but he missed 11 of his 19 shots, had 4 turnovers and went silent down the stretch. Wade had 23 points and 8 assists, despite a bruised left hip that seemed to limit his explosiveness. *Courtesy of www.nytimes.com
