The Miami Heat finished the third quarter with a flurry just as it appeared the Dallas Mavericks were poised to seize control of Game 4 of the NBA Finals to take a 69-65 lead into the final five minutes. It's still the Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade show for the Heat as the two have combined for 47 points, with third wheel LeBron James adding just eight points on the game. But even without James contributing in a scoring role, the Heat have been strong, and are poised to take a strong hold on a series with a Game 4 win.
