I managed to stay up to see the end of the game and WOW what a finish! Game 5 last night was really, really close. Either team could have won it, but Dwayne Wade’s heroics won out again and Miami took game 5 over the Dallas Mavericks 101 to 100.
There was a very controversial call at the end of the game involving a time-out at the end of the game. It cost the Mavericks the chance to inbound the ball at half-cout with 1.9 seconds on the clock. The chances are that it would not have made a difference, but it might have made the difference. It appears as though it was the player’s fault, but not being on the court it is hard to know exactly what happened.
Dwayne Wade scored 43 points, his last of which was the game winning free throw with 1.9 seconds on the clock. He has been truely phenomenal in the play-offs and gets my vote for favorite to win the NBA’s MVP next year.
I think this series will go seven games, and whether or not Miami wins it you have to be impressed with Dwayne Wade’s play.
