Miami Wins; Heads to Dallas Up 3-2 [J. Mark English]

Twelve years ago Pat Riley took the New York Knicks into the Lone Star state with a 3-2 lead in the Finals. The Knicks went on to fall to the Houston Rockets.

And now, he returns to the same state, with the same oppurtunity with a much improved team, the Miami Heat.

Dwyane Wade has turned into an NBA mega star before our eyes as he spearheaded the Heat to a 101-100 win in a game five thriller.

...Just some side notes...Mike Breen, formerly of WFAN, and the play by play man for the Knicks, did a fantastic job for ABC, as did commentator and former Knick coach Hubie Brown.
