Game five between Miami and Dallas ended with a Dallas win, 112-103. In a best of seven series that takes four wins to end, the Mavericks are dangerously close with a 3-2 lead.
Dirk Nowitzki led all scorers (again) with 29 points on 9 of 18 shooting (10 of 10 from the line). He also had 6 rebounds, 3 assists and a steal in 39:37 of play for Dallas.
LeBron James had 17 points on 8 of 19 shooting. He finished with 10 rebounds, 10 assists and a block in 45:38 of play. Jamaal Magloire did not play for Miami.
This could be considered poetic justice, as James and teammate Dwayne Wade were mocking the sickness of Dirk Nowitzki prior to the game. That prompted one sports writer to print “…this is why people hate you LeBron…”
