When your star player – a shooter for that matter – tears a tendon on one of his fingers, you might as well wave the white flag and call it a series, no? The Dallas Mavericks,down 15 with just over 6 minutes of play remaining, stormed back in the fourth quarter with a 20-2 run using timely buckets and ironclad defense. Led by Dirk Nowitzki, who claimed the torn tendon didn’t bother him, scored Dallas’ final nine points; a heady fast break lay-up, a tie-breaking three-pointer with Jordan-esque clutchness, and a lefty lay-up thanks to Chris Bosh’s overzealous defense of the fadeaway sealed the deal and sent the series back to Texas with all the momentum on the Mavericks’ side. For Game 2 not much changed in terms of sneakers; Dirk did his thing with the Nike Hyperdunk 2010 and Jason Terry rocked the Zig Slash (and gave ‘em away to a lucky fan after the game). On Miami’s side, LeBron and Wade rocked their respective PEs of the LeBron 8 P.S. and Jordan Fly Wade, and Mike Bibby wore the Air Jordan 2011 Quick Fuse for the second straight game. With the series guaranteed to go at least five games, you know Sneaker News will keep you on top of all of the NBA Feet action, so check out the Game 2 recap after the jump! via Yahoo!.

After losing the opening game of the series, the Miami Heat have been scorching hot and rolling on all cylinders, receiving elite-level contribution from each of the Big Three when needed the most. Wade, LeBron, and Bosh are proving that three superstars can co-exist, because they’re just one win away from an NBA Finals appearance – Miami’s first since winning the title in 2006. LeBron James once again sported the LeBron 8 P.S. Home PE, which features a red midsole and yellow speckling, and Dwyane Wade wore his own Home PE of the Jordan Fly Wade. Mike Miller, who provided some clutch buckets down the stretch, wore the Air Max 360 BB Low in white. Chicago had a chance at victory, but Derrick Rose fell short on two key last-second jumpers as he was guarded heavily by LeBron James. Rose wore the adidas adiRose 1.5 (no Crazy Light?) and Carlos Boozer wore the White/Black/Red PE of the Hyperdunk 2010 with colorblocking reminscent of the Nike Air Force 1 ‘Scarface’ that released half a decade ago. We’ve got a full recap of Game 4 below so take a look and let us know if you think Miami will close it out in Game 5. via Yahoo!.
