2011 NBA Finals

With all the hatred toward the Miami heat and mainly Lebron James, few people like to recognize that this is one of the most exciting finals in NBA history. This series was a rematch of the 2006 NBA finals, which was won by the Heat in six games. This is also the first time since 2006 that the NBA finals did not involve the L.A Lakers or the San Antonio Spurs



Three out of the six games this series were decided by the final shot of the game. Game 1 Lebron James and Dwayne Wade led the fourth quarter to bring the Heat there first win of the series.

During game 2 the Mav’s overcame a 15 point deficit in the fourth quarter to even the series at 1-1, which is the biggest comeback in the last 20 years.

During game 3 the Mavericks almost fought back from a 14 point deficit in the last 40 seconds but failed to do so with Dirk Nowitzki missing the final shot of the game to put it into overtime.

Game 4 featured an amazing back-and-fourth affair with different lead changes and 15 ties throughout the game.

Game 5 was a 3 point field day for the Dallas Mavericks as they shot 13 for 19 from the 3 point line. Dwayne Wade collided with Brian Cardinal late in the first quarter and did not come back to the game until late in the game.

Game 6 was a very intense and emotional game. During the second half DeShawn Stevenson along with Udonis Haslem and Mario Chalmers received technical fouls because of a scuffle at half court during a Mavericks time out. Dirk Nowitzki struggled early in the game but prevailed in the fourth quarter to prove how much of a clutch performer he really is and more importantly bring the Dallas Mavericks there very first NBA championship and Dirk Nowizki his first finals MVP Award.
