MAVS TOP HEAT TO WIN FIRST NBA TITLE; DIRK NAMED SERIES MVP

At Miami:


Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki had a subpar night, but his 21 points were enough to help lift Dallas to its first title.


Jason Terry scored 27 points on Sunday night off the bench, converting 11 of 16 shots from the field, as the Dallas Mavericks won the first National Basketball Association championship in their 31-year history with a 105-95 win on the road in game six of the NBA Finals over the Miami Heat as the Mavericks took the series in six games.  Dirk Nowitzki (seen here), who was named series Most Valuable Player, had an off night, making only 9 of 27 shots from the field.  Still, he scored 10 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter while grabbing 11 rebounds for the contest.
