Dirk Nowitzki kept the Mavericks afloat early with 16 first-half points on 8-of-10 shooting. He closed with 25, at 9 of 19 from the field. But with Finals foils Tyson Chandler and J.J. Barea having moved on in offseason free agency, Dallas simply lacked the pop they produced in winning the final three games of last season's Finals.
Like so many recent Heat opponents, the Mavericks came out firing from beyond the 3-point line.
The Mavericks shot 5 of 11 on 3-pointers in the opening period, which tied their previous high in attempts for any period this season and was their high for a first quarter.
