At the Miami-Dade Arena, fans witnessed an offensive showcase as both teams put up impressive numbers. The Mavericks shot an outstanding 61 percent from the field and an impressive 41 percent from beyond the arc. Their free throw accuracy was also notable at 88 percent. Despite their efforts, they were outscored by the Heat who finished with a seven-point advantage.


The Dallas team's scoring was consistent throughout all four quarters, putting up over 30 points in each period with quarter breakdowns of 31, 33, 32 and finally slowing down to just below that threshold at 26 points in the fourth quarter. They led for almost four minutes and had their largest lead capped at eight points.


Offensively for Dallas, they dominated inside by scoring a remarkable total of 54 points in paint out of their attempted shots within that area which had a success rate of over three-quarters. They also capitalized on fast-break opportunities by converting five out of six attempts into points totaling to sixteen fast-break points.


On defense however, there were challenges as they managed only two blocks and three steals throughout the game while giving up more turnovers than they would have liked with fourteen lost possessions. This allowed Miami to score fifteen points off those turnovers.


The Heat's performance was highlighted by their bench contributing significantly more than Dallas', adding thirty-two bench points compared to twenty-two from Mavericks' reserves. Additionally, Miami capitalized on second-chance opportunities despite only making three out of ten attempts; these plays contributed seven crucial second-chance points for them.


As for rebounds it was another area where Dallas fell short; they grabbed thirty-three rebounds while allowing forty-three to Miami including ten offensive boards which gave them extra possessions.
