DALLAS (AP) - For days, the Dallas Mavericks insisted nothing was wrong with the shots they were taking. They just weren't falling. They did in Game 5 of the NBA finals. And now the Mavs are on the brink of their first championship. Behind 29 points from Dirk Nowitzki, and series-best shooting performances by Jason Terry, Jason Kidd and more, the Mavericks torched the Heat 112-103 Thursday night for a 3-2 series lead.

DALLAS (AP) - The Dallas Mavericks are on the brink of their first championship in the most fitting of ways: They cranked up their offense. As much as coach Rick Carlisle preaches defense, this franchise that rose to prominence a decade ago by outscoring 'em did exactly that in Game 5 of the NBA finals, riding 29 points from Dirk Nowitzki and 13 3-pointers to a 112-103 victory over the Miami Heat on Thursday night for a 3-2 series lead.

His final line: 17 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, the first triple-double in Heat playoff history and the seventh of his postseason career. Still, the Heat fell to the Dallas Mavericks 112-103 on Thursday night, falling behind 3-2 in the title series. And now his ``Now or Never!!'' post on Twitter at 2:27 a.m. Eastern time Thursday looks more than a little ominous for the Heat, who have to win two games at home to take t |

Wade sustained the injury late in the first quarter during a collision with Dallas forward Brian Cardinal, who was called for blocking on what was a very physical play.

After a dismal Game 4 that saw the former two-time MVP score just eight points on an abysmal 3-for-11 shooting and another fourth-quarter collapse that led to the Dallas Mavericks stealing another game that was within the Heat's grasp, there's been no shortage of criticism levied onto James. Many critics have pointed to the fact that, despite his immense talent, King James has been a bit of a postseason disappointment |

DALLAS (AP) - A switch in the starting lineup, then a switch of their defense. The Dallas Mavericks pulled out all the tricks, and that allowed them to pull out an 86-83 victory over the Miami Heat on Tuesday night to even the NBA finals at two games apiece. Revived by a switch to a zone defense, the Mavericks held the Heat without a field goal for more than 7 minutes in the fourth quarter, rallying from five points down nearly midway through the period.
