The Heat were lead by James who scored 21 points, Bosh scored 19 points, and Wade scored 17 points in a losing cause as they went 20 of 33 from the line. Mavericks win 4-2
Dirk Nowitzki was award the MVP for the finals as he was the one leading the team in most games but it was Jason Terry who was the number 2 guy and was reasonable for the Mavericks winning the championship as he was very good at supporting Dirk as if it was not for him the Heat could of taking down Dirk and keep the trophy in south beach. Dirk ran quietly to the locker room to celebrate the victory while Mark Cuban was celebrating on the court after the game and was jumping up and down on the sidelines late in the game which leads to David Stern problem which will be trying to get the trophy back from Mark Cuban as I do not know if he will give it up. Mark Cuban will be going off for the whole summer about winning the championship as he learn keep his mouth shut during the playoffs and let the play on the court speak for itself and now it is his turn to speak and will love it.
Jason Terry and Dirk Nowitzki are the only 2 players left on the Mavericks from the NBA championship loss to the heat and Dwayne Wade in 2006
