Oh and I made some cute little sugar cookies for the game!
Here is a little recap from last night…just in case you missed it!!!!
The Dallas Mavericks beat the Miami Heat 105 to 95 on Sunday night to become the 2011 NBA Champions for the first time in their 31-year franchise history.
The Mavericks won the sixth game of the series in Miami's American Airlines Arena to win the finals series four games to two, as German superstar Dirk Nowitzki, 32, was named the NBA Finals' MVP, becoming the second European player to earn the award after San Antonio Spurs' Tony Parker, from France, in 2007.
With Nowitzki going 1 of 12 from the field during the first half Sunday evening, Dallas Guard Jason Terry gave the team a huge boost, scoring 27 points off the bench, to go along with 3 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 assists.
Miami began leading the game 20 to 11, but the Mavericks made important defensive adjustments, switching to zone, and going on a 21-4 run to take control of the game 40 to 28 with 9:42 left in the first half. However, the Heat did not lose composure, scoring 14 straight points and regaining the lead 40 to 42.
However, Dallas stared taking complete control of the game in the second half as Nowitzki slowly began making shots, finishing the game with 21 points and 11 rebounds. The Mavs entered the fourth quarter with an 81-72 lead, which they never lost. Nowitzki then made a series of tough shots to take clear control of the game with a 10 point advantage with just over 2 minutes remaining.
In addition to Nowitzki, Jason Kidd, 38, and Jason Terry 33 won their first NBA Championship.
Once again CONGRATULATIONS Dallas Mavericks!!! Job well done!!
