The Pistons are about as far from the NBA title as you can get, but it's still worth mentioning when someone wins a major professional championship.
↵The Dallas Mavericks stunned the Miami Heat 105-95 in Game 6 with yet another overpowering fourth quarter performance to win the 2011 NBA championship.
↵Dirk Nowitzki was silent most of the night, but was picked up by teammates J.J. Barea and Jason Terry, who combined to score 42 points to go along with Nowitzki's 21. Nowitzki shot just 9-for-27 from the field, but was clutch down the stretch with 10 fourth quarter points and won the Finals MVP award.
↵The Heat on the other hand are left with more questions than answers. A drama-filled summer began with LeBron James' "Decision" atrocity and bold predictions of multiple championships from the superstar trio of James, Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade. It ended with Dallas hoisting the Larry O'Brien Trophy on their home court in South Beach.
↵James scored a team-high 21 for Miami but was largely silent again in the fourth quarter when his team needed him the most.
