Heat delivers on promise

Shortly after being traded to the Miami Heat in the summer of 2004, Shaquille O'Neal's first visit to the American Airlines Arena in Miami drew a surprisingly large number of fans waiting outside in 90-degree heat to welcome him.

The whole thing turned into an impromptu rally with O'Neal addressing the crowd and promising to bring a championship to South Beach.

Promise delivered.

The Heat battled back from a fast start by the Dallas Mavericks, took control late in the second and early in the third quarters and held off a late rally for a 95-92 victory Tuesday night to wrap up the NBA Finals four games to two.



After dropping the first two games on the road, Miami won four straight games.

''I made that promise because of D-Wade,'' O'Neal said of teammate Dwyane Wade. ''I knew he was a special player. I knew we'd have a championship-caliber team.''

O'Neal, who finished with nine points and 12 rebounds, didn't have a big game in the clincher, but he didn't have to.

Wade, the obvious choice for the most valuable player award, led the way with 36 points, 10 rebounds and five assists, but this was the Heat's most-balanced game of the series, and perhaps of the playoffs.



Udonis Haslem (17 points and 10 rebounds) and Antoine Walker (14 points and 11 rebounds) each had a double-double and Alonzo Mourning came off the bench for eight points, six rebounds and five blocks in 14 minutes.

Wade averaged 34.7 points, 7.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists in the series, but bristled when a questioner said he put the team on his back.

''I don't want to say I put this team on my back,'' he said. ''We did it together. Like coach [Pat Riley] said, it's been 15 strong.''

For the Mavericks, Game 6 was just another in a long line of frustrating performances recently.

Whether it was the pressure of having to win to stay alive, the Miami defense or a combination of the two, Dallas just couldn't make enough shots Tuesday. The Mavs were just 34-for-92 (37 percent) from the field for the game, including 5-for-22 (22.7 percent) from three-point range.

Dirk Nowitzki led the Mavs with 29 points and 15 rebounds, but had just two points in the fourth quarter.



''I am just so proud of our team,'' Dallas coach Avery Johnson said. ''I just told them how much I love them, through thick and thin.

''I think we've made a lot of progress this year. We got knocked out in the first round two years ago, the second round last year. We aimed high this year and I told them a lot of teams have to go through this.''

At 24, Wade has a championship ring and his performance is sure to keep the comparisons with Michael Jordan alive.

''No comparison,'' Wade said. ''The comparison is flattering, but at the same time I always stay away from them because there will never be another Jordan.''

This year's championship is the fourth for O'Neal and seventh for Riley (he won two as a player). O'Neal won his most recent title in 2003. Riley's last came in 1988.

''I said it and I meant it: I would give up all six [previous titles] for this one,'' Riley said. ''It's not being disrespectful to any of them that I won, but after 18 years of chasing you get tired. So this one gives me a sense of absolute freedom. It's very special.''

The Heat ran off four straight wins to become the third team to rally from an 0-2 deficit in the Finals -- the 1969 Boston Celtics and 1977 Portland Trail Blazers are the others -- and the first to do it since the NBA went to the 2-3-2 format for the final round in 1985.

Even after sweeping the middle three games on it home court, Miami still was seen as the underdog in some quarters because the final two games would be played in Dallas.

Riley, though, set the mind-set of his team when he announced he had packed lightly for the trip.

''I packed one suit, one shirt and one tie,'' he said before the game. ''That's it.''

He won't need a suit for Game 7, but was in need of a change of clothes after getting his suit, shirt and tie drenched with champagne in the postgame locker room.
