Final Score: Dallas 86, Miami 83
Dirk Nowitzki played with a fever and scored 10 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter, including eight during a big run that gave the Dallas Mavericks the lead in an 86-83 victory over Miami in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Jason Terry scored four straight points to spark the 17-4 spurt that pulled the Mavericks out of a nine-point deficit early in the fourth. Terry had six total points during the surge and also hit a pair of free throws with 6.7 seconds left to give Dallas its 86-83 lead. The Mavs then survived a last-second shot by Miami’s Mike Miller to even the series at two games apiece. Terry ended with 17 points off the bench, while Shawn Marion had 16 and Tyson Chandler scored 13 with 16 rebounds for the Mavs, who will also host Game 5 on Thursday. Dwyane Wade, again the Heat’s go-to scorer, poured in 32 points to lead all players, but Miami got just eight points from LeBron James on 3-of-11 shooting. Chris Bosh had 24 points in the loss. Nowitzki played again with a splint on his injured left middle finger and also had a fever that reached 101 earlier in the day.
