Heat regain home-court advantage by beating Dallas

The Miami Heat recovered from their Game Two meltdown in the NBA Finals by edging the Dallas Mavericks 88-86 today to take a 2-1 lead and regain the home-court advantage in the best-of-seven series.

Chris Bosh provided the winning margin for Miami on a 16-foot jump shot with 39.6 seconds left. Dallas forward Dirk Nowitzki's potentially game-tying 18-footer at the buzzer bounded off the rim.

Dwyane Wade paced the Heat with 29 points, 11 rebounds and three assists. Nowitzki had 34 points and 11 rebounds in a losing effort.

The next two games of the series are in Dallas, with Game Four set for Tuesday.

The Heat squandered a 15-point lead in the final six minutes of Thursday's game in Miami and lost 95-93, giving the Mavericks the opportunity to win the series with three wins in Dallas.
