Mavericks beat Heat in 1st Game

It was an exciting first finals game in Dallas. Terry took the match away from Heat. I was expecting the competition to rise between the two giants, Shaq and Dirk. But, the game was actually controlled by Jason Terry and Wade Dwayne.

It seems that the Mavericks have a knack to pull up the game after half time. Also, the top scorers in the game missed some simple baskets. I just couldn’t believe that a player of Shaq’s cadre could miss so many free throws. Was the coach helpless? It was pathetic. I guess star power matters here. Shaq alone lost 7 points in free throws. That would have mattered something in the final standing.
