They're down 2-1 in the series facing an opposition that is hard to stop with their only star player being a 7 footer that has a fever. No problem. Game 3 of the NBA Finals had all of that for the Mavericks and somehow they prevailed. Dirk was once again clutch in the 4th, despite being sick, with 10 points and 5 rebounds in that quarter. He had 21 points and 11 rebounds total for the game. Shawn Marion also stepped up with 16 points along with Tyson Chandler who had 13 points and 16 rebounds. Jason Terry also provided some bench work with 17 points. The Mavs do win, 86-83, and even the series at 2-2.
A adequate copycat performance of Jordan's famous sick day performance back in 1997. Dirk stepped up again. They still shot less percentage wise than the Miami Heat but a win is a win, I guess. Thursday will have a huge game 5.
