Dallas takes Game 1

No, it wasn't Nowitzki, or even Josh Howard who took the charge. It was Jason Terry who clicked with 32 points to lead the Mavericks to victory 90-80 to take Game 1 of the NBA finals. Nowitzki and Howard combined for just 7-for-28 shots, while Terry hit 13 of 18 in an impressive finals performance. Wade led the Heat with 28 but had a quiet fourth quarter, while Shaq had just 17 points and 7 boards, including a dismal 1 out of 9 free throws.
