Mavericks beat Heat in Game 2

Some thoughts on Game 2:

- The "celebration" by Dwyane Wade that put Miami up 88-73 wasn't something I haven't seen a hundred times this year from players hitting a big shot, putting their team up that much more, that prompts the opposing coach to call time out. Jason Terry's done it many times. BUT if that motivates the Mavs to dig in, and it spurs them to close the game on a 22-5 run, more power to them.

- When the score went to 88-75, Jeff Van Gundy pointed out that Dallas is very capable of fourth-quarter comebacks.

- Few people can guard Dirk Nowitzki, and Chris Bosh is not one of them. But Udonis Haslem was late on the help defense for Dirk's game-winning lay-up.

- A stat I hear on ESPN afterwards: whichever team in the NBA Finals wins Game 3 when it's 1-1 always wins the championship.
