Dallas Mavericks - 2011 Championship Journey

Ray Allen's Record Night

Jordan's "Shrug Game"
They say records are made to be broken…and thats what Celtics
guard Ray Allen did in the second game of the 2010 NBA Finals.
He hit 8 3pts to break the record for most three’s in a NBA final.
The previous record was 7  held by Allen, Scottie Pippen,
and Kenny Smith.. He hit seven 3's before halftime.
Jordan made his sixth 3-pointer of the first half to finish with a record 35 points at the break, he turned to the broadcast table and shrugged as if to say, "I can't explain it, either." Jordan riddled the Blazers with one of the most efficient offensive performances in Finals history, scoring 39 points on 16-of-27 shooting and handing out 11 assists. He had only one turnover and was needed only for 34 minutes because the Bulls ran away to a 122-89 win over Portland.

Dwyane Wade Saves The Heat

Jordan's "Flu Game"
Dwyane Wade puts on a memorable performance on the
biggest stage of 'em all - The NBA Finals. Wade finished
his legendary performance with 42 points, hitting a flurry
of clutch baskets to save Miami from a 3-0 deficit
Michael Jordan overcame flu symptoms to score 38 points and lead the Chicago Bulls to a win over the Utah Jazz in the 1997 NBA Finals.
