Nowitzki was dealing with a torn tendon in his left middle finger, and nobody was sure exactly how the Mavericks’ star would perform in the splint meant to protect the injury. As the Miami Heat made another fourth quarter run, it looked like the Mavs would be heading back to Dallas in an 0-2 hole after an unsuccessful trip to South Beach.
Wade’s desperation three fell short at the buzzer and the Mavericks had completed another jaw-dropping comeback to even the series at one game apiece. Instead of the Heat taking a commanding 2-0 lead to Dallas, the Mavericks turned the tables, and will return home with a bit of a mental edge after snatching victory from the jaws of defeat.
