In Game 3, his 29 points -- eight coming in both the first and fourth quarters -- set the tone for a game his team led for the majority of the first three quarters and nearly squandered, if not for Wade's offensive onslaught. When the Dallas Mavericks mounted their customary comeback in the fourth quarter it was Wade who warded off the late surge. Considering how the Heat handled their double-digit fourth quarter lead in Game 2, this time around there was no mistaking who was going to be |

"When you blow a big lead you have to do two things wrong: not score and not stop the other team," TNT analyst Charles Barkley said after Game 2. "Let's take our hats off to the Dallas Mavericks. It's like LeBron [James] and Dwyane Wade were playing hero basketball." Another veiled shot, alluding to the perceived egoistic and narcissistic play of James and Wade.
