| (Sports Network) - The scene shifts to north Texas tonight when the Dallas Mavericks play host to the Miami Heat in the pivotal Game 3 of the NBA Finals. A remarkable comeback on Thursday in Game 2 has shifted momentum to the Mavs in the series. Dirk Nowitzki spun around Chris Bosh and lurched to the basket for a go-ahead left-handed layup in the final seconds of that one, lifting Dallas to a thrilling 95-93 victory over Miami. The Mavs had been staring at a daunting 15-point deficit with six-p |

MIAMI (AP) - The NBA finals will take a two-day break before the next game Sunday, giving second-guessers plenty of time to mull over the Miami Heat meltdown at the end of Game 2. Among the questions: Why didn't Dwyane Wade get the ball more down the stretch? Why didn't the Heat foul Dirk Nowitzki on Dallas' game-winning play? Why was Chris Bosh guarding him alone? And when he scored, why were the Heat out of timeouts? Dallas rallied from a 15-point deficit with 6 1/2 minutes left Thursda |
