Dirk Nowitzki did a little bit of everything in leading his Mavs to a 99-85 Game 2 win. The 7-footer scored 26, grabbed 16 rebounds and swatted two shots.

After being held to a career playoff low of five points in 28 minutes in Game 2, Shaquille O'Neal was left to ponder how to get his game in gear versus the Mavericks.

Jerry Stackhouse helped turn a Dallas lead into a rout over Miami in Game 2 by hitting 4 of 5 three-point attempts en route to scoring 19 points off the bench.

In addition to torching Miami from downtown, Jerry Stackhouse led a parade of Mavericks who took the ball aggressively into the teeth of the Heat defense.

Not even his electric athleticism could prevent Dwyane Wade from missing 13 of the 19 shots he attempted in Game 2.

After helping to down Miami in Game 1 with his shooting (32 points), Jason Terry helped beat the Mavs in Game 2 with his passing, handing out nine assists.

Josh Howard not only chipped in 15 points, including a pair of threes, in Game 2 but again played a suffocating defense while blocking two shots.

Devin Harris again proved to be a handful for the Heat defense and helped seal the victory for Dallas with a three-point play late in the fourth quarter.
